April 9-22

The Greyson Highlands, Dragon's Tooth and McAfee Knob are three of the most famous places on the Appalachian Trail. It was such a great time hiking thru these areas. I ended up with some great photographs.

Mount Rogers, the highest point in Virginia.

Poney Time!

Pizza, cheese bread, Mountain Dew, thru-hiker heaven! A.C. in the background zoning out, he's usually not that intense!

Partnership Shelter near Marion, VA. You can order pizza from this place!

Woods Hole Hostel. They a huge garden were they grow most of their food what they can't grow they supplement from the near by Amish community. They had us the most amazing homemade blackbean burgers!

Ziplining from The Captain's House. He allows thru-hikers to stay in his yard and help themselves to soda on the porch!

The shoes on the left brand new, the ones on the left have over 700 miles on them.

The Homepace in Catawba, VA. An all you can eat family style buffet. AMAZING!

  1. Great photos! We met some of those ponies in 2010. The McAfee knob photo is scary! We weren't that brave.
