Day 7 May 24 Natural Bridges to Blackburg, VA
We travelled 70 miles today in misty rain and mild temperature of 60. Bill is our pack mule as he carries the big load. We headed into the Appalacians as Bill and Eric look at a map. I am pointing out the overflowing creek we followed. The area got 3 inches of rain in the night before. This was one of our most pleasant riding days. Rolling hills made it a treat. Blackburn was a last minute plan that had us end on a climb that seemed to go on forever. We sent Angie on an alternate route that we thought wouldn't have a hill but it turned out to be a famous hill called Nellie Cave. She aced it. Blackburg is the home of Virginia Tech, It is remembered for a large shooting in 2007, It is a beautiful campus in a nice town. Dinner came from a Kroger store the size of a small stadium!
