Reeds Gap Hike 3/30/2013

Although the trail had snow and ice on many of the sections, we had a beautiful, warm day on March 30 along the 8.8 mile hike from Reeds Gap north on the AT to Cedar Cliffs Overlook. Thirteen hikers joined hike leader, Marit Gay, including Iva Gillet, Tricia Neumann, Dave Borsach, Marian Styles, Bev & Pete Fink, Brad Young, John Shannon, John Brandt, Rich Bard, Michael Seth, Barbara Martin, and Mark Trail. Clai Lange met us later in the day for the slide show at Wintergreen.

 From the half way point at lunch a small group journeyed back to the cars via the Blue Ridge Parkway and the others walked the trail along the side of the ridge back to the starting point.  After the hike the group enjoyed refreshments and a slide show about Marit's Pacific Crest Trail trek at her Wintergreen home.  We ended the day celebrating Iva's birthday!
