Bobbletts Gap Shelter to U.S. 11/Troutville, Southbound
Day Seventeen – Wednesday, April 9, 2014
17 miles
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
We parked our car at Highway 11 Troutville parking area, then Karen took us to Bobletts Gap. We began hiking south at 9:00. It was an easy hike along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
We met Tumbleweed, Thunderfoot and Pilfer again as they were headed north. They told us about going to the Fire Station in Troutville to get a shower. Troutville is known to be a friendly hiker town.
Near the end of the day we went through some pasture land, then into a little wooded area, then came out at the railroad tracks at Highway 11. We made good time for 17 miles and had a relatively easy day with only one noticeable climb.
We ate at Country Cooking restaurant, a good buffet and spent the night at the Comfort Inn.
