Day 3 - Midday
(Glendale to Palmyra, VA)
We got to camp early last night, which was nice because there was a pool to swim in and already some laundry to be done. We tested our stove for the first time and although Jon burned the rice, we were full and got to bed by 9:00. We started early in order to try to find a place to watch the US v. Ghana game, but then we realized we're "in the middle of nowhere, Virginia," according to a lady at the general store, who was also very proud of her town having one traffic light (another man giving us directions told us we were "in the boonies and nobody here cares about soccer anyways" - awesome). We just split a rack of BBQ ribs in Mineral, VA and are letting the afternoon sun burn off while we check email in the small public library.
