The Holy Family Hostel in Pearisburg, VA (out behind Holy Family Catholic Church) a good couple miles from the #appalachiantrail but a very pleasant, open, and well-supplied hiker hostel nonetheless. Worth the trek off trail to get here. After Mass this morning they invited us all (half a dozen hikers) to their potluck breakfast. #hostels #Virginia #churches #at2015

Bridges on the Appalachian Trail: this suspension bridge goes over Kimberling Creek which runs alongside VA route 606. Pretty impressive construction job just to get us over the creek (which IS a sizeable creek). #bridges #appalachiantrail #Virginia #at2015
