Day 6 - 86.25 miles
Long day with lots of beautiful rolling hills, lots of deer, and lots of cows. Ended up just short of our destination, but met a guy named Brad who offered to put us up in his beautiful house. He and his wife, Ashley, are probably the nicest people we've ever met. He's a sales rep for Petzl and 5.10 and she's getting her PhD from Virginia Tech in Health Psychiatry. We had a great time chatting with them last night and over breakfast at Gilly'z Restaurant in Blacksburg this morning. Unfortunately, Gilly'z were out of "the world's best grits" so we settled for eggs instead. The heavy downpours from last night seem to have subsided, so we think we're gonna hit the road soon.
