The green-blazed trail back to the Appalachian Trail wasn't as bad on fresh feet; still a horribly laid out trail though.
Our first milestone of the day was Shenandoah Mountain where we were treated to a view and a 9-11 Memorial.
For lunch we road walked into the outskirts of Stormville, New York for a deli sandwich at Mountaintop Market Deli. What a treat! The sandwich was delicious.
A new game of mine is watching for mushrooms along the trail. With the wet weather, there are so many types. One of the white varieties, I learned, is more deadly if ingested than a rattlesnake's bite.
The trail and weather was awesome today, and we made it to the campsite by 3:30 p.m. Enjoyed a long and relaxing evening with friends.
Heads Up, Maybe a Weather alert for Saturday? It is an orange bar for MD. Where else I do not know? Our weather channel has started warning 7 days before of this powerful thunder storm. I am guessing a powerful cold front is coming or maybe a low off the coast. I have not seen potential cause in any report.
ReplyDeleteI shall have to stop at MT Top Market my next time out that way. The subs look good. Today is another 100+ degree humiture! The real air temp is 95 today. Did they sell cell phone batteries? -Stan
I plan to bring a mushroom book I have in my possession on my next visit. Thank you for giving me definite location fix. Place names do just fine. I have an Awol Bk. I am always guessimating where the group is and when I may be able to break away from the world of several responsibilities. I am in the middle of preparing a house for the real estate market. Those types of demands are always a rush job to meet deadlines inspite of weather. I have camped in MA after summer flooding and the parks were closed.
ReplyDeletePlease do bring the book; it will be fun to compare photos with the book. Good luck with the house. We look forward to seeing you on the trail--take care!
