VMO: AT Pearisburg to Daleville (93 miles)

The Baconator is thru hiking the AT this year, so I figured I would join him for a segment of trail that I haven't section hiked yet. Due to various car break-ins on US-211, I think it makes sense to repeat the highlights of the triple crown and go all of the way to Daleville instead of trying my luck on US-211.

The logistics are to drive down near Daleville on Wednesday night and catch a shuttle to Pearisburg. Steve is currently passing through Damascus, so we have reasonable confidence in the start date.

Tentative splits:
4/9 Dry tentsite at mile 651.5, 14 miles
4/10 Another dry tentsite at mile 666, 14.5 mi
4/11 Sarver Hollow Shelter (might be dry), 16.6 mi
4/12 Pickle Branch Shelter, 16.1
4/13 Pig Farm Campsite, 16.9
4/14 15mi back to the car at Daleville.

Driving: I'm planning on using a commercial shuttle if I can get one. I have a car that I can drive to Daleville. Due to the length of the trip, we can't leave cars at a metro station.
