We are in the small town of Haysi, Virginia (population 189). Roughly, we are 800+ miles from good ol' New Jersey. This afternoon we will cross the Kentucky state line, and finally get ourselves out of Virginia. It feels like we've been in Virginia for two months. Since the last update, we have parallelled the Allegheny Mountian's loop down through the Appalachian Mountains, and caught up with the Trans-American Trail in Christiansburg, Virginia. We have hit a ton of cool cities, and towns along our way so far, Lexington, Roanoke, Damascus (Huge AT Trail spot where the town has 5 bike shops, 3 outfitters, one restaurant and ZERO cell phone service). In Damascus we spent the night at a hostel called "The Place", which has been our favorite spot yet. Good vibes, and good people in Damascus.

Hey Scott, I am so darn proud to know you! This is an amazing trek you are on, thanks for sharing with us. Kelly talked about Damascus on her AT journey - it's a landmark. We're all talking about you and holding you close in our prayers. Looking forward to more updates & pics. -gay

Hey Guys,I've been following your progress since I read about you 2 in the Asbury Park Press. I don't know you and you don't know me but I am from Forked River and am an avid cyclist. How cool it is that you are doing this for Alfie's family, and thanks, Bill, for the map. Keep it up, be safe, and enjoy the journey of a lifetime!
