| do we look clean? it's because we haven't started hiking yet! |
 |
| really cool bridge crossing |
 |
| oh Virginia mountains |
 |
| Blackrock Mountain in Shendandoah National Park |
 |
| Skyline Drive ran through SNP; we crossed it several times a day |
 |
| Conner on the left; Rollie on the right |
 |
| one of the tame Shenandoah deer |
 |
| beautiful trail |
 |
| this is why we hike (or at least, one of the reasons) |
 |
| rattlesnake! |
 |
| we found this black snake living in one of the shelters |
 |
| we hiked through this fog and rain for two days straight |
 |
| Bear's Den Hostel-a mountain oasis |
 |
| green trees |
 |
| if you're wondering, yes, this is the trail (not a creek!) |
 |
| the tow path out of Harper's Ferry |

 |
| yes, we devoured this pizza! |
 |

 |
| the knife's edge |
 |
| the mountain near Palmerton PA-we didn't know we had to go rock climbing! |
 |
| yep, straight up; hands and feet climbing |
 |

 |
| tough climb in the heat |
