5/19/06 Friday: FREE DAY IN TROUTVILLE,VA

I spent the morning updating my blog, doing laundry, and keeping in contact with Jackie who was flying out here for a visit... She arrived around 1300 a bit sleep deprived, so we settled for a bit of R&R in the room ;). After dinner we drove to Roanoke Airport to get me added onto the rental car contract, they apparently need to see my drivers license. Following that we went to the mall to visit the outfitter for some possible gear upgrades but didnt find what we were looking for. We ended up at the supermarket to pick up a few thing for the room and for my next leg of the hike. Were planning to do the skyline drive tomorrow. Should be a nice day for it... Sorry no pics today...:)...
