Sugarloaf Mountain 7/25/13

Oh! The orange trail is the most fun at Sugarloaf! But I am getting ahead of myself… At 6 pm I was sitting in my car at the Urbana park & ride waiting for Boomerang. Commuters were returning from the Washington, D.C. Area in cars, vans and busses. Everyone was moving, in transition from the […]

Humpday Hike @ C&O Canal 7/24/13

This gallery contains 3 photos.

Ever have that feeling you have to get out in the middle of the week even though you don’t really have the energy to do it… That was today.  I got home from work at 4:30 pm.  Fed the pack, then hemmed and hawed over whether it was worth it to drive in rush hour […]

This gallery contains 3 photos.

I drove away from the house this morning in light drizzle and fog.  As I pointed the car in the direction of Harper’s Ferry and headed down 340 west the drizzle became a steady rain.  I wondered, as I glanced at the sky, whether any of the dames would cancel.  I turned on the radio […]

Deep Gap Shelter, 7.5 miles, staying in shelter ***** So the rain finally stopped after practically drowning us today!  I couldn’t believe it.  It seemed like it was stopping when all the sudden, BOOM, the skies opened up and we were doused.   I squished up Kelly Knob (long, long climb…so many false summits), then […]
