Cold and Wet in Virginia

Its been wet and rainy for Skuter and Hammerdown as they try to catch back up with Bill and Jesse. They are supposed to be in Waynesboro by Thursday. Jesse's friend Wyatt is picking all the boys up and they are headed to Damascus, VA for Trail Days... a festival in Damascus for the Appalachian Trail. I am meeting them there for the weekend, I think you can tent for $5 at a campground close by, so this will be a relatively cheap weekend. Supposedly they have a huge water fight at the festival. They have picked up the pace and are hiking 15-25 miles a day. Unfortunately, Skuter sent all of his warm clothes back with me, so he's pretty cold this week and its difficult to start a fire because its so wet, so the goal is to walk really fast to get warm so they can make it to Waynesboro on Thursday.

Skuter - this is your mother - why in the WORLD did you send your clothes back? Are you trying to kill me? Well, you've been cold since birth! Looking forward to seeing you next weekend! XXXOOO
