They weren't last year when I hiked through Vermont on the AT. But then again nobody was vaccinated last summer.

yup, eventually she's gonna have to resupply i would think.

Fair enough. But I'm a reasonably experienced backpacker after thirty years of it and still need things from the outfit by the trailhead from time to...

according to a facebook post by her mom she's fully outfitted and she's an experienced backpacker

The real question is are you fully vaccinated? If not, please stay away.

Told the mother on the thread to call Roanoke PD and DEmascus PD to let them know. She was given some good advise on the thread.

I still have an old Jansport from the 1990's when I was a boy scout. Nowadays, it holds all my extra gear that I only take on car camping trips.

I suggest taking the detour at Rausch Gap, assuming it's still in place. Going SOBO, turn right and follow an old dirt road for 1/2 mile, then left...
