Very different day today, compared to the strenous two since Waynesboro. The Priest heading south is one of the tougher climbs on the AT, but the trail today was gentler. However, warm and humid and chance of thunderstorms brought the bugs out with a vengeance. Tonight we're camping on a grassy hillside where the breeze helps keep the black flies off. We'll go into the next town tomorrow for resupply and showers, and avoid the bugs for a night.
And a word about the trail magic we encountered two days ago. Folks sometimes leave food out for hikers, and only beer would have made Rodney happier. And there were oranges and more sodas and cookies at the shelter.
