Last day I'll hike the ten miles to Pearisburg, and then get shuttled back to my car, but I'll knock out ten by noon at the latest. There are plenty of places to resupply along the way. You'll pass Partnership (Pizza), Atkins/Rural Retreat, Bland, Trent's Grocery, and Wood's Hole. Weather...up for grabs, should be around (June, hotter afterwards) 80 during day, and around 60 at night, although this could fluctuate ten degrees either way that time of year. As for water, should be pretty good. I've hiked parts of Damascus to Pearisburg, and aside from that I haven't heard of any problems.
