"We'll always have Wytheville."


"Adversity introduces a man to himself"
-author unknown

"It was an interesting weekend in southwestern Va, to say the least...
Katie and I traveled to an annual event entitled "Trail Days" in Damascus, Va.  Her friend Sarah, also known as Harvest on the AT, was showcasing her latest exhibition entitled "Footpath."  What was to be a weekend of woodland exploration and camping turned into a test of patience and perspective.  For brevity's sake, suffice to say that after 2.5 hours of searching for a new car battery, which we found in Bristol, Tn, we experienced total failure the next day on I-81N.  3 car jumps, 1 new battery, and most likely a new alternator (tomorrow), Katie and I now find ourselves in the little town of Wytheville, Va.  For all of the setbacks and headaches we have had the past two days, in a weird way I think the two of us have turned what some might call "a nightmare situation" into a fun adventure.  No fights and instead a lot of laughs and smiles.  I love this girl.  :)    "

I love Wytheville! I stopped there on the return leg of my cross country trip many years ago. Everyone was super nice. The guy at the counter where I ate lunch gave me some sage life advice. I felt like I'd stumbled into an episode of Leave it to Beaver.
