Chris and I had breakfast at an awesome place in Richmond called the Bridge Street Grill. He dropped me off at Appalachian Gap at about 9:00 am.
Hiked to Cowles Cove Shelter for lunch and then up Burnt Rock Mountain for a great view. Hiked to Montclair Glenn Lodge but it was very full. The tent platforms behind the shelter were also full so I pushed on in the approaching darkness for the Hump Brook Tenting Area. This tenting area was .8 miles off the trail and also very full. I found a spot on the side of a hill in the back nine of this tenting area and put up my tent in the dark. I am uncertain how I will sleep on this sloped site. I listened to the Red Sox game while hiking this evening. I have less than 100 miles to go to reach Canada!
Hiked 10.6 miles today.
