Petites Gap to James River on the AT - April 20, 2019

submitted by Barbara Martin

Thirteen hikers in two groups, one lead by Barbara Martin and the other by Michael Seth, enjoyed a beautiful hike from Petites Gap to the James River on April.  There had been warnings of rain, high winds and lower temperatures, but the hikers were blessed with gorgeous sunny weather the whole way. We had a short climb to Highcock Knob, enjoying a multitude of wildflowers.  But it wasn't just wildflowers. We saw incredible views then walked along a lovely stream with more wildflowers, coming out along the James River and crossing the famous James Footbridge to end our hike. Thank you to Susanna Williams, Brooks Fulton, Margaret Helber, Pam Heinrich, Lynn Hatch, Sharon Celsor-Hughes, John Brandt, Nancy Handley, Marian Stiles, Peggy B and  Penet Moss for making this hike memorable. Hats off to Michael Seth for assisting as second hike leader.
