Fifteen hikers joined hike leader, Barbara Martin for the awesome Pete's Cave hike in Rockbridge County. The group was an interesting mix of hikers seen on many PATC hikes: Iva Gillet, Michael Seth, Nancy Handley, Marie Moss, John Brandt, 3 hikers from Get Hiking Charlottesville: Patrick Cory, Todd Patrick and Ann Hays and several folks from Rockbridge County: Marcia and Mac Crosby, Larry McNeil, Greg Sandage, Debbie Lane and Andre Meyer.
The day started cloudy and a bit chilly, but hikers we're warmed by great views at the start of the hike. In another 3 miles we reached the unusual and fascinating Pete's Cave rock formation, where we had lunch. On the return trip we were gifted with sunshine and blue skies. It was hard to tear some of the hikers away from the gorgeous views on the way back, but eventually everyone drove down the mountain to the home of Andre Meyer for food, drink and further conversation and fun.
