We were already wet and the rest of the day was calling for rain too. We went to Trent’s and got breakfast and some coffee. It felt good to get inside - out of the rain - and to get dry. As we were sitting there a few other hikers showed up and said they were getting off the trail for the day. The cold rain wasn't something they wanted to deal with all day. As we sat eating our breakfast and getting warm with coffee we decided that we didn't really want to hike in the rain either!
Sam, who works at Trent’s, offered to give us a ride to Bland, Virginia and drop us off at the hotel. We took him up on his offer and split a hotel room with Whiskers. Murder Worm was picking us up the next morning and taking us to her family farm house for the night. The weather was supposed to be bad the next few days so it turned out to work perfectly. We were getting off trail and letting the rain pass.
The hotel was nice and there was a gas station close and a Dollar General close. I picked up some microwaveable snacks and we laid around and stayed dry watching tv. It rained all day and night and was cold and windy.
The next day Worm picked us up at 11:00 and took us to her family farmhouse 40 minutes away. Right off the highway before we got there was a Walmart. We stopped and picked up food for dinner and breakfast for the next morning. It was so nice of her to come pick us up for a night off trail. She had her dog Taylor with her too. She was a great dog, I love meeting new dogs.
We had a great dinner that night, a fresh salad, homemade mac and cheese, and stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon. Everything was so good and we had brownies and ice cream for dessert. The bed was so comfortable and we slept so good that night. We woke up the next day and Worm told us we needed to check out the farm.
We eventually decided to stay another night. I'm really glad we did because we had so much fun and the property was a beautiful piece of land. We rode four wheelers and a Kubota around the property it was a lot of fun.
