So here's a quick update on our friend Tumbleweed: just the facts.
Patty will receive her next resupply box in Cloverdale, VA; she should be there within the next few days.
She's hiking with an adventure racer who goes by DOT ("Director of Trail"; yes, he is that cool), and at last check was pulling 22+ mile days. Dang!
Patty recently bought new hiking boots, again. (The first replacement pair was purchased at Neil's gap on our 4th day out, in response to an inappropriate number of blisters on her toes.) Apparently her feet are growing and expanding enough that the old new boots are now too small. I'm predicting she'll wear a men's size 12 by the time she gets back.
It must be warm in Virginia, because she's sent back all of her warm underlayers.
She doesn't currently have her phone, but does check her voicemail, so if you're reading this, feel free to call and leave a message sometime in the next few months
That's it for today. Take care all, and happy June!

Patty W. is hiking the entire Appalachian Trail this summer, and I (Samantha)-- after accompanying her for the early weeks-- will be sending her mail drops of clean socks, rubber ducks, and frozen burritos. How could we not blog about the adventure?
