Due to a rainy forecast AND the Skyline Drive being closed, our joint hike with the Valley Chapter was cancelled and we each led hikes on our respective sides of the mountain. Our brave hiking souls this day were Ginny Barber, Nancy Handley, and Brian Muszynski, joining hike leaders Bill Holman and Iva Gillet. With limited Park access, we headed to Sugar Hollow for a planned hike up to the Drive at Turk Gap. Remi, Iva’s granddog, was so happy to play in the stream and didn’t mind the rainy forecast at all. Brian crossed the Moorman’s River 2 or 3 times while the rest of us looked for an easy crossing, finally deciding to head north instead. We enjoyed the lovely flow of the water and some conversation. We crossed the river a few times and then turned around. Bill found a terrific rock overhang where we enjoyed some snacks, and shared with Remi. Back to the cars before the serious rain came, we were glad for a few hours walking in nature before we returned to our chores.
