Day 57 - Friday, May 17, 1974 - Pearisburg to Roanoke to Cloverdale to Fullhardt Knob Leanto

4.3 miles - 412.4 cumulative miles

We had coffee and toast with Mary Finley and the TV this morning, then talked with her for a while.  Went rushing to catch the 11:10 bus to Roanoke, which didn't arrive until 11:45, of course.  Rushed to the Post Office first.  Had a hot ride to Roanoke and then called a taxi to get to Cloverdale.  It was super hot today and I was kind of depressed. 

We started hiking around 5PM after a stop at the Post Office in Cloverdale.  Shortly after we started it began raining.  Thunderstorm.  Got soaked, but man, did it feel nice.  Such a relief after all the heat.  I was sure glad to get hiking again, too.  Felt a whole lot better.
