The weather started out foggy, as predicted. As we were driving to the trailhead, the sun started to shine and it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Sixty degree weather is the perfect kind for hiking. A good group of 13 people showed up. Neil and Mary from Richmond, Virginia returned from last week's hike to join us. It was good to see them again. John Brandt's son, Thomas, also joined us. It was nice to see him on the hike as well. Dave Borszich, Pete and Bev Fink, Eileen Seamans, CJ Woodson, Irene Burke, Marian Styles, Iva Gillet and John Brandt were also a part of the group.
The first part of the hike was a little challenging with a fairly steep hill climb. The view of Old Rag from this part of the trail was worth the climb, however. Everyone made it to the top safe and sound. We decided to have lunch at the trail junction before descending down Broad Hollow. John Brandt brought out the cookies for a little carb boost!
The descent along Broad Hollow Trail offered some nice views. People took advantage of the picture taking opportunities. Rock walls, a shelter, and streams were all part of the scenery as we hiked down.
We made it back to the parking lot and decided to head to Etlan Store for some barbeque, drinks and ice cream. Just what we needed to finish out a great day!
