I managed to get lost just south of Rockfish Gap, I was following white 
blazes but found out the trail had been rerouted. I wound up in a housing 
developement then I bushwacked in the direction I thought the trail would be 
and came out on a road during a thunderstorm. Some guy familiar with AT 
hikers stopped and gave me a ride to Rusty's. Next morning Rusty gave me a 
ride back to the trail and dropped me off a couple hundred feet from where 
Id come out of the woods, I came out at the bottom of a hill the trail was 
at the top.
