Another Hike, Or Three, On The Appalachian Trail.

The white blaze is beckoning the hiker to move forward into the mountains of Southwestern Virginia.
We were impressed with the white variety of rhododendron seen all over the trail in this area.
We love the rock formations along the trail. Each state has its own character with this being in North Carolina.

Trail maintainers often throw the long distance hiker a bone with signage such as this. We were walking in the direction of 1/4 GA–>ME. We discussed whether this would encourage or discourage future progress?

Stiles help a hiker cross farm fences while keeping the animals in their place. This one was particularly steep but not rickety. Check out the view from above the stile on the right.

We found this quite interesting. We thought gypsy moths were only in the northeast? Guess they have invaded the south..
