After a very nice all-you-can-east breakfast buffet at mountain Harbor B&B,
I set out at 9:00 am for the 18 miles to Moreand Gap. The terrain promised to be less demanding. And it was.
The scenery was varied.
I passed an rather new cemetery.
Saw some flowers I'd not seen before .
and had lunch by the spectacular waterfall 
After lunch it started to rain and so I donned rain pants. I was clammy the serif the day but at least I didn't soak my boots.
There were lots of beautiful steams
and bridges
At just the right moment a bench showed up for my 4:30 break.
Arrived at the shelter at 7:45 pm
Total distance: 410 miles
Those pink flowers are Showy Orchis, a native orchid that is a favorite of mine. We have been seeing them on hikes here.
