Waking up to the cawing of the crows as we felt the rain drops on our faces, we quickly rose to our feet and packed up our gear in order to start off on our trek again. We started off that day at 8:00 and by the time we entered Purcelville, VA, it was raining slightly more. By the time we entered Winchester, VA it was raining quite a bit more. We escaped inside a sheetz and waited out the rain a little.. Meaning three hours in total. After a flat in Alfie's bike, we went through Winchester's town square, mind you all through the rain. Although the rain caused quite a bit of misery, the town of Winchester was actually really nice. Many different people have us directions to a Walmart, but we ended up just winging it and finding it mostly on our own. On the way to Walmart though, we found a building under construction and decided that it would be perfectly suitable as an option to get out of the rain. But as it turns out, we found an ideal huge porch-gazebo-thingamajig (not sure what its exactly called) which even had its own outlets!! And to our dismay... Motion sensor lights -_-
After we went to Walmart to gather supplies and... Wait for it... HAMBURGERS, we biked back to our wonderful abode and had a tasty dinner. Which made up for the rain and crappiness. We soon fell asleep into a nice bliss.
