New Poles and next hike

I was very excited to receive a set of Komperdell Trekking poles from my father this week. I had mentioned to him that I had bent my other poles on one of my recent hikes. He had two sets and was not using his Komperdells that much and offered them to me. Great poles!! These are 3 section poles and have replaceable tips and an anti-shock system. A tad heavier than my Summits, but not by much. I can't wait to try these out on my next hike, which comes tomorrow.
My plan is to give the gas tank a rest and head back to Elizabeth Furnace near Front Royal. This will cut my latest travel time in half and allow for an earlier return home. My target is the Shawl Gap/Sherman Gap trails for just under a 10 mile hike. Should feel pretty good after last week. Humidity levels are expected to be lower, so hopefully some good views can be had. Stay tuned.
