I'm getting tired and sore. Made it through 24 more miles today for a total of 77 miles in the past three days. Crossed over the longest foot-only bridge on the AT early this morning:

Encountered more large snakes but nothing that I think was poisonous:

Here are some videos of some snakes I have seen over the recent days:

When I got to US Route 60 I was very fortunate to encounter an EX-through hiker who was there and his car supporting his son who is through hiking this year.  The man I met had a trail name called 5-WAY standing for the five way bypass he had before he did the trail in 2006. I am spending tonight in the budget in motel in Buena Vista and will get a ride up by a taxi service to the trailhead at 8:30 tomorrow morning to resume hiking.

This is the elevation profile from today:
