June 7, 1997 (Day 80 – milepoint 833.1 -Rockfish Gap; Waynesboro, VA)

Rusty drove Aunt Marty, Pixie, and I into town. (Earth Surfer and Flash began their attempt to hitchhike to Florida for a wedding. Hopefully, they’ll catch up in a few weeks.) Rusty informed us that he would be taking some hikers to church with him tomorrow and invited us to join them if we were still in town. Although I’m not a churchgoer, it sounds interesting and we’ve decided to stick around for it.

Laundry, post office, grocery, telephone, and even saw a movie. Con Air. A good “guy-movie,” and I just happen to be a good guy.

Dinner at Weasies Diner with Pixie and Aunt Marty, and we were joined by a local couple, Jeff and Tina, who we met outside the PO this morning. Jeff is planning a thru-hike and we enjoyed answering questions and telling a few stories. I was reminded of how I felt when planning for my trip. I’m excited for Jeff, knowing what lies ahead for him.

Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary to Mom and Dad!
