Day 50, 7/18/07, Pippa Passes, KY to Elkhorn City, KY, 54.8 miles

Once again, some Appalachian climbs, four larger (2-4 mile) climbs and very very steep! It wasn't too horrible. We had a couple scary run-in with dogs, at least two ran beside me and I was sure they were going to bite my foot or wheel. All the other seemed to just bark and run but seemed to be chasers and not biters. The weather has been nice, humid and warm, but no rain as of yet. The roads have been very curvy and when the sight says, "broken road ahead" it generally means that the shoulder either fell off the cliff or into a river/stream! We SAGed into Breaks interstate park (owned by both VA and KY) and the mountains appear to be taller as we move east.
