Adam the owner of Stanimals hiked the AT in 2012

The forecast for SNP today is for rain and a flood watch until 1700hrs. I've decided to zero thus avoiding this extreme weather event.  I walk through town and notice the Shenandoah River is running high and muddy already.

Word reaches us that the Park rangers have closed some sections of the trail due to extreme water flow.  The information confirms my decision to remain in town today.  

So Adam,"Stanimal", saw a need for shuttle service and a hostel in Waynsbrough when he thru hiked.  I can attest he is quite busy this time of year.   Interestingly he runs his hostel from his house. We bunk in the basement and have laundry, shower and a bathroom there. Upstairs is a sun room attached to the back of the house that is the common room.

I plan on hiking tomorrow as the storm is passing.
