life is play

:) I havnt updated in a while been just playing away so im 150 miles just about from the half way point!! WHAT!!! im in waynesboro VA. After going home my whole hike has completely changed and for the better im really taking my time and living it up!! ive met some really amazing people who also want to just take there time and see everything we can!! Ive have experienced the real beauty in strangers mainly from hitch hiking all over virginia, yes hitch hiking! SO back tracking to the graceland highlands where i got to pet wild ponies!!! UNREAL!!! My friend ambassador and myself hiked all the way around the graceland highlands exploring the blue blazed trails to just see where we ended up, which was wrapping around the entire park and ending up exactly where we left of haha pretty silly but we really got to see some beautiful spots that other people couldnt. After playing with ponies a group of us decided to hitch to marion va the warrior hikers had a parade to be at on memorial day so i thought itd be fun to go. Our hitch was crazy seven hikers, seven packs, two huge horse saddles, and my little doggie on the back of a truck with no gate, pretty silly!! these two girls we had asked to get a ride from before they snagged us said they didnt even know where they were going so the truck people said theyd bring us to the main road, well the two girls followed the truck thinking one of us was going to fall out ha! Truck dropped us off and the two girls drove us all the way to marion!! Awesome! Hung out there for a day and hitch back to the trail were we were at this shelter called partnership, everyone gets sucked in..showers close to town and alot of good people! I ended up meeting with three lovely people with guitars which you can imagine my excitement..one of which we played for about six hours i just sang and sang! Hiked out after a couple days of hanging there piper one of the guitar players and i thought itd be cool to go and busk (play music on the street for money) so he hiked out with b-line, ambassador, and i (been hanging with them since damascus) We didnt end up making anything we were in this town atkins which there nothing in :) Got to this pavilion 12 miles later were the lovely Miss Janet picked up a bunch of us to go to the captains house for a weekend party (what a time!!) She brought us back hiked out and started our own "not your typical trail magic" (trail magic by hikers) We fed some hungry kids! 
.....Parisburg VA started hiking out and it was gross street walking powerlines and a nasty cigarette plant, hiking with piper and machete we said it was time for a little break and thought lets go to nashville and lets busk..we made and adventure bound sign to get there ended up going back to the captians haha, then from there we hitched to blacksburg VA made some money, then to roanoke VA which is were we got hooked up by this lovely couple took us for lunch and dessett and brought us back to the trail!!
