| Poppa Lip is getting a mail drop ready! |
Today we woke up and got on the trail by 6:45. It was nice to get an early start. We had an 8 mile day which puts us at 42 miles!!
Our day ended at noon and it felt really good to get to the hut early in the day. Since we got to the hut so early we went through our bags and got reorganized, again! We also set all of our food out to see what we needed to make it to our first drop box. We're passing a campground store tomorrow so we're going to buy a few things for breakfast for the rest of the week and we also need a few more dinners.

| Jeff at Hightop Hut |
It was a perfect day for a fire so Jeff and I started one as soon as we got to camp. The guy we met yesterday showed up at the hut for lunch. His trail name is The White Walkers. He’s a really cool guy from Massachusetts and he gave us his number. He said if we need anything at all to give him a call, he even gave us his parents number!

| We love our fires!! |
Yesterday we met a mom and a daughter at the spring. They were so happy because a trail angel had just given them a bunch of granola bars and other food to get them through the rest of their trip.
We saw a few more squirrels today and a snail in the middle of the trail.
The best part about the Shenadoahs is walking through all the valleys and not know what or who you will see next.
