SU’s John Stevens recounts the days’s activities, beginning at Hightop Hut and a steep hike to Smith Roach Gap and meeting up with Steve Bair of the National Park Service for a talk on the history of Shenandoah National Park and the creation of Skyline Drive as the “main vein” along the Blue Ridge. Then on through hail and rain to Pinefield Hut for the night.

It’s great to follow your progress via this computer. I hope you are all not too wet as it has been a steady rain here in Berryville all day. Stay dry, eat always, and pray for warmer weather. Your experience sounds amazing.
