Date Hiked: 8-26-21
Total Miles Hiked on this Section: 50.6
Didn't waste any time getting started, heats up fast, and we have a swimming hole waiting on us at the end of the hike (and then a Hostel and a cheeseburger)
This was a pretty cool rock formation. Trail goes right under the suspended rock.
Moving quickly...we're eager to make it to the swimming hole.
Avocado can always spot a critter on the ground.
Orange critter is the technical term I think.
Once again..I'm getting left behind...Avocado is eager to get to the swimming hole.
We stopped at Bryant Ridge Shelter for a break and a snack. Making good time, should get to the end in plenty of time to cool off.
Time to press on...we were booking down the trail.
Not far to go....
A cold stream awaits.
The view from a rock above the deep part where you can swim.
And if it's too hot in the sun (it was) you can hide in the shade under the bridge.

What a great place to wait on your shuttle
Stanimals Hostel in Glascow, VA picked us up, had towels to dry off and frozen popsicles in a cooler for our enjoyment on the ride to the Hostel. We'll spend the night there, grab some dinner, and drive home the next day. A great ending to a very challenging section hike. Not because of the terrain or miles...just the heat...it was hot, and water was in short supply. But we made it....another 50 miles complete.
