NOBO Norovirus

[Del Q]

The Norovirus that inflicted about 80% of the hikers I met on my spring SOBO hike in April is now in Pennsylvania.

PA Rocks and the Norovirus.............thru hikers that can make it on their thru this year should get an extra 2000 Miler rocker from the ATC

I was thinking the rocks would keep it away from us!

The virus has a personal vendetta against that bubble.
