WELCOME

Thanks for stopping by. This blog is way for me to journal my hiking experiences, our family camping adventures and other musings. The purpose of this blog is to share these experiences with others, so that they may find an interest in getting out to explore the great outdoors more, and to be able to measure my own growth in the hobby of hiking and camping which has become such a fun pastime for me.

Heading back in

Though we have decided to spend the Holiday weekend close to home, I did want to get out at least one day. My plan is to complete the Fridley Gap hike near the town of Shenandoah. This will be a 10.5 miler. There is a spur trail to Kaylor Knob, however this would add 4 more mile to the hike and likely be a bit much with temps expected to get near 90. Some pm thunder showers may happen which would be a welcome cool down. There is a swimming hole at Fridley Gap which may also offer some time to cool off.
I'm looking forward to getting back on the trail and a good work out. There is considerable elevation change on this hike, so some good exercise is in the mix on this. I am hoping to see some rhododendron in bloom, but I may be past that time.
I have stocked up on some nice microbrews and imports for post hike relaxation when I get home.....and while I am getting my pack ready today.
