Fifth Trail Visit

    Renee dropped me off where I started on April 9th at Swift Run Gap, mile marker 907 if headed north. I walked around 20 and 19 trail miles the first two days and only 7 the 3rd. That is because the forecast was for heavy p.m. storms. 

    So I had the idea to call Steve Barrett of Kent's Store, VA and see if he would meet me at Afton Mtn.,  and take me to his house for the night. The possibility of rain had caused him and his tree service crew to already cancel for the day, so he agreed.

 

    I was the Barrett' s pastor when I served the  

  Beulah Church of that small rural community. We had lots of good times during those years, much of it in the woods deer hunting.

 

    I was busy the whole time I was there, I.e. shopping, washing clothes, putting ice on my feet, etc. However we had lots of time to reminisce and also speak of what is now happening in our lives.

 

    Thanks Steve and Brenda for your hospitality. The attached picture is of Steve holding my pack on the morning he dropped me back off on the trial.

 

    And a big shout out to all our friends of Kent's Store. I wish time had allowed me to visit all of you! Thanks for how you support our ministry.
