The weather today was perfect for hiking. It was a bit cooler and all
the bugs went away :). It probably did drop close to freezing last
night, so that probably helped.
We took advantage of the Shenandoah "wilderness" today. There are a
few Waysides in the park, which have food at them. So, we took a half
mile side trail down to have burgers and blackberry milkshakes. Yep,
probably going to hit a few more of those.
The trail today had more vistas than yesterday. It was more of a
ridge hike than a forest hike. Blackrock Mountain had a rocky summit
with 360 degree views.
Unfortunately, Heeten is going to stop tomorrow. He was doing well
but got a few blisters and is exhausted.
