Well, the weatherman was right on Saturday's forecast. After waking up to rain/sleet/snow, the forecast was for clearing and sun. So a few of us bravely/foolishly headed for Swift Run Gap. The entrance and Skyline drive were snow covered but the weather cleared just as we began the hike. Since the Drive was closed we walked up the snow covered road to Smith Roach Gap, then headed north on the AT to Hightop Hut for lunch. After lunch we continued north back to the Drive and then to the cars. Group included Liz, John Brandt (yes, in shorts), Iva, Tricia, Dan Ralston, and President Moss. We also picked up a hiker, David, from DC with a second home in Central Va. He was a nice addition and we hope he will join us often.
