At the end of our hike on Tuesday, we walked into Rockfish Gap and hitched a ride with Robert Painter down into Waynesboro. We went to the outfitter at the bottom of the hill, got a few things we needed, and waited for Jill to pick us up. When she arrived, we grabbed our packs and Matt noticed his walking stick was gone. He had left it in the truck!
As he had been carving this stick for about two years, he was very sad. But at the end of the hike Wednesday, we were hitching a ride and along came Robert again! The stick was still in the bed. We were almost speechless at this turn of events.
Because it went away and came back again, he has named the stick "Boomerang".
