4/25 – 4/27 – Found the reason I was not feeling well yesterday. Somewhere I caught the stomach virus going through the trail. I has seen one kid at Dragons toot that was sick and saw 2 hikers on the last day of my hike that were getting back on trail after being sick. I never touched a shelter so not sure how I picked it up unless it was water based.
Got sick overnight the first night at Huckleberry. Not sure is this was Noro virus and that is normally both ends… I just had the back end issues. Spent the day on my back trying to drink fluids. The owner was nice but not sure he was happy to have a sick guest that could affect other guest. I was able to keep my distance
Decided I need to get a room to have a close bathroom and shower. Found a room in Salem, Virginia. Stayed there Saturday 4/26 and Sunday 4/27. Tired to eat during this time, but did not go well.
The symptoms normally last 3 days so I was hopefully to be back to normal Monday
