Bullfrog: Second Leg in Central Virginia

On August 9-10, 2008 Rhino and I headed back to the Trail after what felt like an extremely long two and a half months. Joining us were guest hikers Robert (from two previous hikes) and Jen.

We started at the Tye River and hiked south 19.5 miles. It was a long hike up "The Priest" from the River (about 3,000 ft. up over about 4 miles). On the way up we encounted an angry swarm of bees which managed to hit me once, and Rob and Jen a couple of times each. Rhino avoided having his tough hide breached by the stingers.

We ended at Hog Camp Gap where there was a nice meadow right before the Forest Service road where we parked.
