Update: Burkes Garden, VA aka Marcus's Chalet

Coach and the Professor spent a Zero Day yesterday in Burkes Garden, Virginia... at a chalet, yes chalet, courtesy of college friend Marcus Hanes. There, they shot skeet, watched movies and ate some tasty steak and potatoes. They report that their packs felt very heavy this morning as they prepared to return to the trail. At this point, they have hiked exactly 568.4 miles of the Trail. There has been a slight delay in receiving their journal entries, but they should arrive soon!
