We had a pretty good day as it was only 8.5 miles into Daleville. We got up early and got into town right around noon. As soon as you walk off the trail you're in a gas station parking lot so we got chips and drinks and sat at the picnic table.
Whiskers had to go to the post office to get a package. We were just going to resupply for the next two days at the Kroger in town. We're staying at a hostel in two days and have a package there waiting for us. There was this nice local who took Whiskers down to get his packages. It was a mile away, but it was a mile in the opposite direction we were going. When Whiskers was done with his resupply from home we all went to get some food from Wendy's and charged our phones.
Kroger was in the same shopping center so it worked out perfect. There was an outfitters store right there too, we both needed fuel so that was a plus. We ended up staying in Daleville longer than expected but we got our next few days figured out.
We plan on staying at the Campbell Shelter tomorrow to catch the sunset there and wake up really early on sun to catch the sunrise at McAfee Knob. It should be an amazing couple of days. I've been looking forward to McAfee Knob and I love a great sunset and sunrise. We've heard the sunset is amazing at the shelter. Four springs hostel is only 4-5 miles from the Knob so that will get us in early. We will have plenty of time to get everything together. saWe have to charge our charging units, laundry and get our resupply package all sorted out. It felt good eating some town food and getting a few things from the store. It was hot today I hope the weather gets a little cooler soon it's been too hot and the water hasn't been the best thru this little stretch.
