Can we meet you at the canoe stops...meaning are the stops near enough to a road or camp ground to get to you? Ah-ha, a little snow just to make things more interesting.

I hope you are all not too wet as it has been a steady rain here in Berryville all day. Stay dry, eat always, and pray for warmer weather. Your experience sounds amazing. George and gang

The movies are great. It's sort of like a reality TV show... but I hope no-one gets voted off the trail...especially you. I'm glad you went up Stoney Man. That place has special meaning for me (which I believe I already told you about and cannot repeat in public). Did you see the "Stone Man" face from one of the overlooks before you went up it? That's a cool sight. Deeds and McDonnell had a debate last night and, unfortunately, I think McDonnell won handily. Deeds is a good man but has trouble articulating the progressive agenda. We've done a few bike trips but we all keep looking off at the Blue Ridge because you're not with us. Glad the weather's been so good for you. Keep the faith! Remember, even if it gets tedious sometimes, it's a lot more exciting up there than down here! Jim Hi John Cope!

I've played your Day 3 Post several times and learned something new from it each time. The flickering fire, Carl's informative narration and the film segments (by Bill, George, Travis, and...?) combined to make an appealing and educational Ecoventure snapshot. What a treat to be able to learn about the Blue Ridge from T'ai Rouston, Bill McShea and Wendy Cass. Enjoy the journey. Woody Bousquet Chair, Environmental Studies Shenandoah University Hi Gang!

You have certainly had beautiful weather, but I did wonder about yesterday's wind and several chilly mornings! We miss you, John, but know that you are having a great time. Thanks for keeping us in the loop during this exciting adventure. All the best to the group! Kate So glad to view the videos and see how well the trip is going.

This should be a wonderful opportunity to get to know a very special part of the world. My perents spent their honeymoon at Range View shelter, in 1939. We, ( they and my sister and I ) spent weeks there during the forties, as well as at other shelters along the trail. How well I remember the excellent berry picking, and the supercharged clean air, among numerous other delights. Be sure to take along some good warm clothing for the chilly nights ! Best wishes for you all. Martian Well, you’re off ! This should be a wonderful opportunity to get to know a very special part of the world.
