That's right everyone by the end of the day today mom will be a third of the way done. I spoke with her this morning as she was in Daleville, VA picking up her food drop. She (like always) sounds great. I asked her if there was anything she would like me to share... She wanted me to let everyone know that although she has fallen behind her original crew she has found another group of wonderful people that she is hiking with and really enjoying their company. These are really good people...her words not mine. Surprisingly she bumped into a few who she figured were way ahead, at camp one night when talking with a new friend she hears "Nature is that you???" and who peers around, but Radar!! She has been spending her time climbing cliffs in the pouring rain (she loves the Tinker Cliffs), enjoying time with new friends, and hitting up random dudes for rides to the post office (they were headed that way anyway, but that is not the point). Although she was not able to send me her own photos she asked that I find a few of the places she went in the past few days that she enjoyed the most. 
McAfee Knob, VA
That is all for now. We expect to hear from her again next Wednesday when she will be in Waynesboro, VA meeting up with Meme and Mark for the last time (on this trip anyway...I have heard rumors about wanting to through-hike southbound).
1/3 done...over 700 miles...Go Mom!!
