AT day 143 - Thunder Hill shelter to Bobblets shelter

Miles: 24
Total: 1443.2 Sights: a turtle

Today was some pretty good hiking, with some fairly moderate climbs and some gorgeous views. We've been hiking fairly close to the Blue Ridge Parkway since the Shenandoahs so we get some of the road views here and there as well. We did get rained on for about a half hour, which was pretty intense while it lasted. Soon after it stopped we got to a shelter, go figure! We had a nice lunch there (we overestimated our meals so we bumped up our lunch). Oh! Earlier on the day some section hikers gave us seven banana nut muffins. Delicious. We somehow managed to save a few for breakfast in the AM. At a road crossing a truck stopped and took our picture (with our camera; he saw us taking a photo of a sign). He then gave us a bandanna. Very nice of him. Well, hate to end this early again but we are waking up at 3am tomorrow in order to make the 18.5 miles to Daleville before the UPS store closes at 4. Also we will be staying at a motel and wish to maximize our time vegging out inside of it.

Bobblett! 

We were taking a picture of this sign and a couple in a car turned around and drove over to take the picture for us.  and then he gave us a bandana.
