Caught up with the Mainiacs! Ran into Mama Bear, Halfmoon, Wrongleg, and Rambo at Lowes Gap Wayside. Hadn't seen them since Winding Stairs Gap, a hundred years ago. What was really cool was that Papa Mainiac was also there, as he was visiting. Hadn't seen him since the first week. I like those guys.
Finally got my milkshake in the Shenandoahs. Sort of. I went in to order it, and of course their machine was broken. I was crestfallen, but I remembered something Ranger had told me, so I bought a pint of B&Js and some chocolate milk, got a cup from the wayside, and mixed them together. Turned out pretty awesome. Cookie dough ice cream. Had to eat the dough with a spoon. A highlight of the trip, right there.
Was going to walk a couple more miles, but was invited to stay with the Mainiacs who were going into town to a hotel. I figured I could make up an extra two miles the next day, so I went with them. We watched Captain America 2 at a tiny theater in Luray. It was entertaining, if a bit silly. Tomorrow will be my last day in the Shenandoahs. Oh, also saw two more bears today. Numbers 4 and 5. Some rangers told me the eyes I saw that one night were probably deer, so I'm not counting them.
Breakfast spot.
Wrongleg. It's funny 'cuz he's British.
Best shot I could get.
