Six hikers, including hike leader Gabriel Garretson, climbed Cat Knob starting from Bootens Gap, and continued to The Sag, Rapidan Camp, Big Rock Falls and ended hike at Milam Gap. The overall moderately strenuous hike was 7.3 mile long with 1700 feet of ascent on a mild 60 degree winter day. Other hikers included Claire Cline, Lindsay Brown, Mike Spencer, Patrick Cory and Tim Munford.
Tim and Patrick went on a one mile side trip up and back up the Fork Mountain Road to the SNP boundary to help Gabriel and Claire in their effort to complete hiking all 500 plus miles within SNP. On our return the Laurel Prong stream crossing was challenging and two hikers got their shoes wet. Lunch at Rapidan Camp and the view at Big Rock Falls was delightful.
It is now projected that both Gabriel and Claire will finish hiking all 500 plus mikes within the SNP on a PATC hiked planned for March 2nd. Please join us for this celebration if you can.
