Dragon Tooth

Today was a wonderful day. The temperature doesn't go above 70 and tonight it will stay around 50. This morning we woke up early to get in 24.5 miles. Whitey and Chilly were still asleep when we left. We didn't see them for the rest of the day. Actually, we saw zero thru hikers on the trail today. Danae and I are currently in a shelter by ourselves. Normally they are full with 8-12 hikers. Even though we didn't see any thru hikers, we saw a bunch of day hikers at Dragons Tooth. It is a very rocky mountain with steep cliffs and a wonderful view. We actually stopped there to eat our lunch. Within the 2 mile "touristy day hiker section" we saw about 20 people. 2 of which have us trail magic. The first guy gave each of us an apple and a protein bar. We saved those for supper tonight. The second guy, Ian, gave us a total of 4 Cliff Bars and 4 Clementines. We ate there while talking to Ian. Within a couple of minutes we realized we had a lot in common. He got married 9 months ago, he is a christian and he knows about Rosedale Bible College (he went to Cedarville which is near RBC). He even figured out why I am called Shazz without me having to explain it. I told him my real name is Daniel and then he made the connection of Daniel's Babylonian name. He's the first to do so. After making small talk he prayed with us and we were on our way to the shelter. Meeting Ian was great and we hope to hear from him soon. Tomorrow we will be in Troutville and Daleville VA to resupply.
