Buena Vista, The Dark Knight Rises. 21st

Hiked a 20 mile day to VA60, the road that goes to Buena Vista. Have waited all week to go to this town as I need to resupply, and there is a movie theater in town. I can finally see the new Batman movie! Hitchhiked for the first time, mixed feelings about doing so. Waited for a good hour to get a ride into town. Picked up by a fellow Texan heading to a farm to work on. Was very grateful for the ride as town was almost 10 miles away. Got my hotel room, and washed my clothes. Ate not one but TWO triple whoppers from Burger King along with fries and a large coke. I've got a big appetite these days. Got a taxi ride to see the Batman movie. Heard all about the shooting in Colorado on the way to the movie. The film was a big reward for me, haven't been this excited in a while. Got my ride back to my hotel room, and saw that Reef wasn't in town. I think I out hiked him considerably. Going to try and be in Harpers Ferry by the end of the month.
