During the night it began to rain. I woke up to rain. I had intended to get an early start and do 20 miles, but the rain dampened my enthusiasm. So I had breakfast and set out at 8:30 am. It rained drizzled and misted all day. I had to slow down so I only got to old Orchard shelter. Still that was seventeen miles. But it messed up my plan to try to tai a day since I'm three days behind my plan.
I stopped for lunch with about twenty other soaked hikers at the shelter below Mt Rogers (the highest point I Virginia). After peanut butter and tortillas I was off again across the Grayson Highlands known for it's here of ponies.
I only saw one.
Finally arriving at the shelter I was greeted by Neon. Normally I camp. But tonight I gladly stayed I the shelter, which helped me dry off.
