Some relos on the Trail meant road walking on 26 July 1975. Hiked some 20 miles or so (relos meant I didn't know now the actually distance).
The several rains got my clothes all wet, including all my socks. At this point of my hike I had done some 700 miles. Here is a topo map of the LT.
Raining today in 2022, something badly needed too.
This was a Thursday in 1974, And after a 10.5 mile hike, hit Snowden Virginia for a mail drop and to shop for some groceries. "Groceries in Snowden sucked."
Well it was a small combo grocery, hardware and PO all in one (might have had gas too).
The choices were limited, but I seem to recall I bought a block of cheese. I also noted in my journal that the "James River gorge no sweat."
At the Johns Hollow LT I met Harry who hiked the whole AT in 1969.

Read an AP story this morning in the paper (yes a hardcopy paper) titled "European travel runs into pandemic cutbacks." Heavy traffic and Covid 19 precautions.
I haven't flown since September 2021 but reading this has made me even more reluctant.
Essentially all of my flight travel depends on connecting flights. I also know that weather, both summer and winter can create a tremendous strain on flights.
My strategy, especially in the winter is to fly early in the morning. Basically you insure the plane is at the airport from the previous night and all that is needed is the deicing. Still may have delays at a connecting airport, but that is where the airport lounge comes in handy.
Summer time opens us other weather related delays. I recall hopping a ride from College Station TX to Waco in a thunderstorm to hopefully connect a flight to Dallas-Fort Worth.
So long story short. If you connect, give yourself plenty of time so you don't need to do a OJ Simpson run through the airport (can't do that anyway due to TSA).
