I’ll add more to this post later today (done), but I’m off! It’s travel day.

• Plane to DCA (Reagan Airport)
• DC Metro 🚇 to Alexandria
• Amtrak 🚊 to Roanoke
• Uber 🚕 to Daleville

I’m in the air now, looking down as we fly over the Appalachians. I remember last summer; we flew over the reservoir that flooded after that crazy storm ⛈

I won’t arrive until late tonight and it’s always a convoluted journey to get to the AT. It always seems to involve a train or a bus for some reason.
