Day 53

Day 53

Matt Poole (House) May 31st, 2022
House's 2022 AT Thru-Hike

20 miles

Not much to say about today. Sadness is kind of hanging over us today after yesterdays news. After checking the official AT Facebook group we found a post from his trail family. Turns out he was sitting at the end of the knob and just slumped over and fell off while eating his breakfast. Nobody knows why. I’m sure it’ll come out in the next coming weeks. Vertigo maybe? No matter what, it’s a tragedy. We put our miles and hitched into Glasgow so we can resupply to get to Waynesboro in 3.5 days time. There’s a shelter in town where we pitch our tents. They have an outdoor shower so I shower and do laundry in there simultaneously.

A lady from the apartments next door offers us the leftovers from their Memorial Day cookout which was great. Burgers, beans, mac and cheese. That’s all we need.
