Morning started slowly with a breakfast of French toast, coffee, and orange juice.
Mary has a National Park Service passport and collects stamps at all the parks we visit. The campground store didn’t have a stamp but we were told that the wayside store does. That store is only about one-mile down the road. We hiked the trail that connected the two stores and Mary was able to get here passport stamped for Shenandoah.
The Chevron gas at that store is selling gas for $2.999 per gallon. It seems every station in West Virginia sells gas for the same price.
Our return hike took a longer route. We followed the Frazier Discovery loop to the Appalachian Trail. Then hiked about 1-1/2 miles back to camp. Along the trail we saw plenty of bear activity. From bark clawed off trees, rocks overturned, and ground digging. We also discovered what we believe to be bear and coyote scat.
We met a hiker that was doing the Appalachian Trail alone. He had already covered several hundred miles and only had 1400 miles to go before winter sets in. Oh, to be that young.
The afternoon was spent reading. Dinner was a large salad and a sushi. The Costco sushi is pretty good and travels well in the Roadtrek’s refrigerator.
We were able to watch CSI this evening. The TV coverage from the top of this hill is fantastic. Most of the station signals are strong and clear.
