Day 38

Our hero cleaned up his campsite and entered the town of West Union, WV, to use the library, have lunch, and get some supplies. At lunch he met a nice lady who started a long conversation with him. He left West Union and walked on the North Bend rail trail for about 8-9 miles then hopped onto the four-lane divided Route 50. He walked on the highway until around midnight, then camped on the outskirts of Ellensboro.
