Have spoken with Bob and there is good news! Mark is rested, healed, and armed with the medications he believes will allow him to continue! He is leaving this morning to meet the dogged doctor in Pearisburg, VA, where Bob is taking a zero today. After doing over 100 miles in 5 days solo, Bob's body begged for a break, and the chance to meet up with Mark was the final impetus. I saw Mark last night, delivering to him some stuff for Bob (a new, 14oz. Thermarest Neo-Air - the last one Casual Adventure had (thanks Charlie!) - as well as a repair kit and something for Bob to wear in his pictures from the gang at Casual Adventure).
Mark looks great and is itching to get back on the trail. He figured he better hurry up and meet up with Bob, or the miles he'll have to put in at the end of the trek to complete the trail will be huge! I told him Bob would probably hike it with him!
Somewhere around the third week in June is the target for Harper's Ferry and a quick break back in Arlington to celebrate the completion of the longest state on the trail. Expect more reports from Bob today!
