Day 83: Centle in words and food

• Front Royal Super 8 (OFF 972.7)

• 0 feet rise, 0 feet of descent

Every night we recorded details of the walk of that day in a registration book. These written words are combined with three Garmin devices records, a food record and a photographic record of the three cameras we carry. It is a rich resource and we are satisfied (and a little surprised) with our consistency in the archive of the details of the trip. Some people can blog the day of the day, but after walking and the tasks of the camps, our bodies want to sleep.

As a consequence, we put aside time in Nero and zero days to compose and program several blogs of days at the same time. This fits our energy well and the Worky Trail Access to the Internet. Some of our «extra» zero days were used to work in this blog. As a squirrel that stores nuts for winter, we love the feeling of having days of tail stories.

A zero bloggy

I realized that we only had four days in Virginia. The tasks that will be carried out to take us to the north to complete my unfinished parts of the AT will take a long time.

To reduce the stress of relocating and blogging at the same time, we decided that we would dedicate one day to writing. We wanted to get enough programmed blogs to take New England without trying to travel and blocked simultaneously.

According to my calculations, we needed 4 days of hiking and 3 days of travel to take us to the New England segment. Today, we need to need Hunker and write as Mad.

Writing is a hungry job

During my career, I wrote multiple federal subsidies per year. Each subsidy had at least 100 pages and sometimes hundreds of pages long. I know how to write under pressure.

Also as when I write under pressure. I never imagined how it would combine writing, eating and hunger for hikers. Today, it was a marathon day in all accounts.

Morning session

We start early and complete three blogs using the file data we have. It was a great beginning. The food was necessary.

As we had little food from yesterday’s groceries, we decided to cross the busy road and try a Spilunker hamburger. They had all been pressing us to try them. Traffic in the restaurant spread to the road on lunch and dinner. His food is a local favorite.

Padnomanon lunch

We had no trouble crossing the 6 traffic lanes in front of the restaurant. People stopped their cars in the middle of the road to let us pass. We assume that Spelunkers was like a microclimate creating its own weather patterns; This time with the flow and flow of cars inside and outside the parking lot.

We approached the door and finally wees to the crowd. It was late for lunch, so the crowd was not as thick as not seeing in the park.

There were no open tables. People hung on the sides of the walls waiting to collect their orders. Outside, a long line of cars crawled on the road. More cars were embedded in the parking lot and even spilled on the road waiting for the runners to deliver their order.

In his continuous calorie search, the historian ordered a double bacon cheese hamburger with milkshake and fries. I asked for a single bacon hamburger, onion rings and sugarless ice tea. (I know, you certainly remember that he got sick last week, but it was very hot and I love ice tea!)

Fortunately we found a table and our food soon brought us by a corridor. It was quite tasty, but the most prominent part of the experience was the procession of humanity that obtained these popular real hamburgers of the front.

Afternoon writing session

After lunch we returned to our blog work. We recreate our days using the punctuality established by our satellite monitoring, along with the photos we take. To this we add the page of the daily notes we record every night. Our record book includes the weather, the surface information of the path, where we sleep and errors. To polish our data, we consult our food diary in which we register all our food and times eaten. The food record automatically calculates our micro and macro nutrients along with calorie consumption.

Telling him about it is a bit shameful. But, I have already confessed to be a geek, so here it is.

We spent the afternoon writing and schedule the 4 remaining publications we needed to spend our week without having to travel and write simultaneously.

Hungry work, as always. After our enormous lunch, we ate two M&M. peanut packages. We judged them too heavy to take tomorrow, so we had to solve that problem eating them today.

Nepali kitchen to finish the day

We had planned to make a supermarket today, but recover an forgotten article at the B&B mountain house took our free time. The recovery was successful, but we ended the day with just dehydrated backpack food and two small cups of yogurt that someone gave us. We planned to be happy with that meal, but as hunger woke up, we crave fresh food.

We discovered that we could continue working and receive surrendered Napali foods. It arrived just when we finished our work. I was so delicious! We had a fantastic night savoring new flavors for us from Khukuri Nepali Cuisine.

We had chops from Lamb on the grill of Tandoori.

Steamed meatballs and

Chicken muttered with vegetables.

We also had a variety of naan fillings, crispy flavors of fresh vegetables and refreshing sauces.

Among the food and writing sessions, it was a tasty and satisfactory day. Tomorrow we will begin the end of Virginia. With a chill of emotion, we went to bed and went to sleep deeply.
