More Wonderful Hiking On The Appalachian Trail.

It is tough to pick our favorite pictures to share from such a long hike but we had to start somewhere:

Many hues of green, almost like Spring in Upstate NY
Central Virginia had some awesome, sweeping views from the trail.
One of our daily “half lunches”. Not necessarily half the lunch but many times two separate full lunches.
Any guesses?
Our favorite snack after both half lunches. Not usually cold but certainly refreshing.
Not sure if Laurie is doing yoga or pointing out the upcoming portion of trail?
Beautiful “tunnel trail” today. The white petals were with us for weeks as the rhododendrons bloomed.

Some fine folks always made sure to let hikers know of their progress. Below are the 600 miles north of Springer Mountain and one quarter of the way to Katahdin in Maine. Not really near each other but…..

It amazed us how many foot paths intersect the AT. This one, the Allegheny Trail, heads north through West Virginia. One day!
We have walked over countless streams and rivers on man-made and nature-made bridges but sometimes we have to marvel at the amount of time and effort had to be put in to build the bridge deep within the woods.
So many rock formations to hike/crawl over and around.
There was an abundance of wildlife along the trail but our favorite had to be the cows dotting the landscapes. I had a long conversation with one of these particular cows. I do speak fluent bovine you know.

Below shows one of the nicer free accomodations one can find along the Appalachian Trail This shelter had plenty of room and was very neat and tidy.

This shelter also had a view to die for!
This common signage is there simply to let our scooter know it is in for some fun!!
