First thing in the morning, Kim was gracious enough to take me back to the trail which was 8 miles from the campground. It was a cool 60 degree start with clouds and a threat of rain. I had some wet roads but no rain, thankfully! Again today, the road wound through the country with cattle, horses and crops along the mountainsides. The wooded stretches included beautiful houses nestled up the hills and sounded by tall trees. It was a rather uneventful day.
Something that bothers me is the excessive use of signs that basically say “Stay Out”. Nearly 90 percent of the wooded properties have this sign somewhere on their lot. Most have the sign hung on about every other tree along the road. There must be an issue with people just walking onto your land. I don’t know? The popular phrase is POSTED No Hunting No Trapping No Fishing No Tresspassing. Why does it have to say POSTED isn't it already posted on the tree? Why can’t they just say No Tresspassing, which I think covers all the situations. It must be a legal thing that you have to say POSTED. Oh, well, that is my rant for today.
We are staying at the Christopher Run Campground just north of Mineral, VA. It is a very wooded place built on a hillside. We got a downpour of rain about 6:00PM which sent us inside for the reast of the evening. Kim said the drive today was uneventful also. She is very ready to be home, but she has been a real trooper through the entire trip. I am very proud of her!!
