I jerked awake this morning.  The sun has risen, but there was a light rain pattering on my tent.  I knew it was going to rain, so everything was ready.  I broke camp quickly and was on the trail.

It was cold, but I knew about noon the sun would come out, so it was bearable.

And, the sun did come out.

My back was sore all day.  That is to be expected as I pattled yesterday.

I reached the Virginia border.  The trail flattens out and my mileage should increase.  We camped two miles out of Damascus.  We'll get up early and get some breakfast. Our goal is to not spend the night.
