Day 111

We had a nice easy 20 mile hike to Pearisburg lined up for the day and for once it actually was nice and easy. We started out hiking through an old farm medow lined with all kinds of trees, in particular there were some really delicious apple trees.

 After a while we hit another mountain top with a meadow with some great views.

There was even a shelter up on that hill.

The final mile into Pearisburg was by far the worst maintained stretch of the trail. It was completely overgrown and had parts where it was easier to bushwack our way around the trail then to hike on it.
Once we made it into Pearisburg we stopped off at the local mexican restaurant for dinner while waiting to hear back from the town's church hostel. The guide book says it closes in late September and was 3 miles away so we didn't want to walk there to find out it was closed. We ended up not hearing back from them so we just split a room at the local motel. Which actually worked out well since the manager there did our laundry for us for free.
