As a follow up to my car spot help thread; I got a ride pretty easily from Webster Jackson trailhead to Appalachia from a nice family from Maine who let me squeeze in the way-back of their CR-V and threw their packs on top of me. If your reading this: Thank You.
I didnt reach my goal, But It was a beautiful day to be up high.

Presidential Traverse Fail 7/2/11
 
A noteworthy occurence I forgot to mention in my Blog TR was that while ascending the Valley Way Trail I passed a blind man hiking with his service dog. When I came up behind him and his dog we were on a tight sectiion of trail where I couldnt pass, for about 100 feet. When the trail opened up again, I then asked if I could pass, It totally suprised him. He said "wow you must be very stealthy". I hike on my toes and, I get comments all the time from people that I'm very quiet and they didnt hear me coming. But coming from a blind guy with more perceptive hearing, I took that as a compliment. I later found out that the man was Randy Pierce and he is trying to climb all the 4K's Check out his website. Cool Stuff.
