Shenandoah National Park
What up Ramblers? Been a while since I posted because....I don't have anything to post! I'm just about done with all my old hikes, and I am itching to post some new ones. However I did have one final hike I had to mention. In my short hiking career this was the biggest and the best. Last spring I was in a total funk and just had to "get the hell out of town". So I said screw it and booked a trip to Shenandoah National Park. Solo road trip in full effect down to Virginia. Only problem was that I booked it 3 months after I was in my funk and by the time the trip came around I was feeling better and really didn't want to go away on my own. I almost cancelled but decided to stick to my adventure...and man it was worth it. As you can see though I did have some challenges. The weather was out of control at the start of the trip. Torrential rain storms knocked out power and almost dropped trees on my car. I also came across some creatures you don't find in the woods too much in CT. During some of my hikes I didn't come by another person for 3-4 hours. I was deep in the woods, lost half the time, and man I loved it! I hiked parts of the AT I probably will never hit again so that was another added bonus. So check out my video diary. Next week I will post some pics as well.
