Another overcast today, but warmer and humid. Talked with a weekend hiker who's a medic, and he said this stomach flu is highly contagious and widespread locally. He's caught it twice from patients, so it is not just thruhikers and boy scouts who get it. Apparently the Howard Johnson in Daleville has a cheap hiker rate and has served as a "casualty ward" for northbounders.
Met some more interesting hikers, including 69 year old Nubbins, a woman who started in Pearisburg and seems to be doing just fine. Plus a pleasant English couple and a young German couple and his brother.
