The fourth and last day of my 2022 Memorial Day weekend trip. I would be driving from the town of Wytheville, Virginia back to my home near Washington DC. With me in no hurry for the day, I would take the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, and hike Sharp Top Mountain along the way.
The third day of my 2022 Memorial Day weekend trip. I would be doing a long day hike in Virginia’s Grayson Highlands State Park and the nearby Jefferson National Forest, featuring Mount Rogers as Virginia’s highest elevation point, some fun on the rocks along Wilburn Ridge, and a combination of forests and open meadows which were not a common sight in Virginia. Unfortunately, just like the previous two days, I still had to battle with annoying mud for portions of the hike.
The second day of my 2022 Memorial Day weekend trip. After waking up in Blacksburg, I would try out more hiking trails in the towns nearby, most notably Angel's Rest Trail in Pearisburg.
During the Memorial Day weekend last year, I hiked McAfee Knob and Dragon’s Tooth trails near Roanoke, Virginia, which I really enjoyed. So this year, I felt it’s only appropriate for me to finish the remainder of Virginia’s Triple Crown, Tinker Cliffs. While the views were spectacular, rain and muddy trails made it a rather disappointing trip.
March 2022, I flew to Chicago for some conference, as the first business trip I took in over 2 years from COVID.
My weekend trip of hiking in Virginia at the turn of April/May 2022, along the northern part of Blue Ridge Parkway.
A post about my trip to Philadelphia, about bird viewing, cherry blossoms and museums.
It’s the final day of my 2020 Utah trip, I would be taking Southwest flight 1286 back to Baltimore.
This would actually be my 100th flight.
Eighth day of my Utah trip. I would hike Chimney Rock Trail in the morning, and drive back to the suburbs of Salt Lake City in the afternoon for tomorrow's morning flight back home.
Seventh day of my Utah trip. I would be visiting Capitol Reef National Park today, hiking Cassidy Arch, Grand Wash and Hickman Bridge trails.
