The Quality Inn offered a shuttle at 1030. We planned to sleep in and then have the free breakfast right before packing and showers etc., but instead we naturally just woke up by 7. I went and got us some coffee at the local hippie coffee joint, a gluten free bakery cafe.
$5 for a large Americano?! Oh well, we are on our vacation from the Shenandoah vacation, which itself was a vacation from real hiking, which is also a vacation of sorts, though a physically demanding one at that. Third level vacation action.
On the hike out I saw a most amazing event. A levitating piece of bark! We've met wizard, magician, and know of at least one Harry Potter on the trail, but this could not be their conjuring. No, I'm sure David Frickin' Blaine was on the trail, probably hanging out with that Copperfield character, just having a magician competition in the middle of nature. Like those old McDonald's commercials with Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. This level of amazement must mean they were playing for keeps. This might have been the trick that blew the other one up. Poof, no more creepy Copperfield eyes.
Also of note was a really nice shelter and the epitome of a mushroom. A purple one at that.
