From Helen via emails from Sarah:
Many of you know that the southeast has seen some steady cold rain this past week, and a lot of it was right on top of Jay as he hiked through Virginia. As he reached Pearisburg a couple of days ago he decided to head in to a hotel to get dry and warm for the night. He had recently traded out his winter types of clothing for only warm-weather items as he met us at Damascus Trail Days. I guess that was a bit premature. The local thrift store in Pearisburg was a good place to find a wool sweater and long johns. The woman at the thrift store told him now that he bought those clothes the weather would heat up. Small price to pay for a few days of warmth and sun.
Jay is still about 8 days ahead of his itinerary. He has gone through a barrage of hail, chilled wind, torrential rain, summer heat, and bright sun. Way to go, Jay!
