VA 610 to Ceres 42

Super short day slack packing I did it in a few hours, and enjoyed nice talks on the trail with some dayhikers. I did have a bite to eat at a pavilion just off the trail. lots of cows, lots of phlox along the water source.  most of the day I hung out with 12%, and we just goofed off, and he helped me pick up the trail magic I left at Dickey Gap, and at the the Settlers House. i left several cases of Soda Pop, candy, oranges , strawberries, bananas and so on. it seemed thru hikers enjoyed it .  12% and I cleaned up the trail magic, and shuttled Noro V , Space Cadet, Flinch, Tortoise and just paul , amongst others  into Marion with the glorious car. we then crashed at the comfort inn. off the trail for 8 days!
