APPALACHIAN TRAIL

AT Day 62: Zero Day in Waynesboro VA

ByPurple Haze Posted onMay 23, 2023September 23, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 864.3

For a Quality Inn, not a bad breakfast. After the eggs, biscuits and gravy, I tried to avoid the waffle maker but succumbed to the temptation.

The only shopping items on my list today were a gas canister and a new eyeglasses case. My current case is cracked and broken after falling on it numerous times on some of my stumbles on the trail. I struck out at the nearby Ace Hardware and Walmart so I hitched down the road to Rockfish Gap Outfitters. Got my gas canister but the attendant said they didn’t have an eyeglasses case. Of course, I didn’t expect they would. He said wait a minute, I’ve got one in my truck and disappeared outside. He returned with just what I needed – the trail provides!

I planned out my journey through Shenandoah National Park and the next leg to Fort Royal VA.

Green Leaf Grill for dinner, scrumptious bacon-wrapped scallops with rice and green beans and a baguette with butter. Highly recommended!
