VA #2 hike, day 4

Monday, March 28th, 2016
Start: Hog Camp Gap/3 Springs Hostel
End: Punchbowl Shelter
Miles: 17.6 (+0.2 to shelter)

I took a slow start this morning, having breakfast with our hostel hosts and my friend before heading back to the trail by 8:30am.

I climbed up Bald Knob (4059'), passed by Brown Mountain Creek Shelter (1358'), went over Pedlar River Bridge (952'), climbed Rice Mountain (2166'), and ended my day at Punchbowl Shelter (2487'). I arrived around 5pm.

Tonight, I'm sharing the shelter with AT Wheeler, a retired, flip-flopping thru hiker from Michigan/Florida.
