AT Trail towns Virginia

Every few days hikers get off the trail and head off the ridges to reach a trail town that is lower down in the valleys. They are often older rail and manufacturing town from 100 years ago.

Tonight we re-supplied in Buena Vista and camped in the city park next to the Maury river.
