Climbing High






Over the past couple of days we have hiked and climbed in some gorgeous areas of Virginia. They have been tough days in the middle of this heat wave (95+ degrees, a backpack, and a couple thousand feet of climbing can be a little draining), but it has been worth it even though it does not always seem like it is when we're dragging ourselves uphill. Here are a few pictures. The places are truly indescribable and the pictures do not do them justice, but I'll try to describe them to you all once I find the words. Pictures: me atop McAfee Knob, ditto, Jogle & I on Dragon's Tooth, steep section of trail (drop off) trying to get down from Dragon's tooth, roots/rocks at Dragon's Tooth

I say again, "WOW". We are all jealous, the views are spectacular. Your progress is tremendous. You'll be in Maine before you know it.........that might be disappointing in a way because then you'll have to think about returning to the rat race but what an accomplishment! AB

Are you really allowed to look that happy??? Even with the heat you've been experiencing, we can tell there are no regrets that you're doing what you're doing, my friend. Looking forward to your next post. M&D
