Day 55: 15.2 miles – VA606 to Sugar Run Gap (Woods Hole hostel)

Mile marker: 625.6 Miles today: 15.2

First swim on trail 🤩

After an other good breakfast, I prepared my stuff this morning to slackpack to the next hostel.

I can feel my shin split from yesterday.

I guess I jogged a little too much for them…

Other from the shin splits that I can feel, my left ankle bone still hurts on every step I take when I wear my shoes.

New shoes are necessary…

About an hour in my hike, I got to Dismal Falls.

A few people where in the water & other where getting ready to jump in.

I decided to jump in myself ! This is part of the AT experience.

The water was frigid, glacier cold 🥶

I needed to take deep breathes before swimming after the jump😂…

After the swim, I headed out back on trail.

Shortly before arriving to Woods Hole Hostel, I took a nice break on Sugar Run Mountain.

At the hostel, I had a great time. Meet some new people & saw people I had not seen for a while. The food, the location, the warmth of the place is incredible.
