Hard Push

Hulk has endured...another larger timber rattlesnake that caught him off guard, bears (unseen, but heard) crashing about the campsite in the last night or two and it was very cold the last two nights. He slept near Sarver Hollow Shelter last night. Went to sleep hot, but woke up chattering for 45 minutes till he got his thermals and jacket on. Otherwise the weather is great during the day. He is trying to get to Daleville / I-81 crossing by Wednesday evening to meet up with Graham. He has gone 45 miles in 3 days, with another 49 to go today and tomorrow. He got a cell signal and called us from near Niday Shelter at 11am and will try to get to Catawba Va / Johns Spring Shelter late tonight. Keep him in your prayers.

PS- I did not see any new photos up yet, there may have been a problem uploading them at the last stop. Maybe he will fix that Thursday morning. 16 days / 214 miles down / 1500 to go. Dad
