The summer 2015 backpacking season has begun! A week and a half ago I finished my first trip of the year which was to
circumnavigate Trout Run Valley in West Virginia. It was a three day hike covering 27 miles and, for me --- it -- was -- tough!
The whole trip was up and down, up and down and that was at an elevation of 2000 to 3000 feet and it was on incredibly rocky terrain:
But there were many gorgeous views:
And lovely flora too:
And of course fun around the campfire with the others:
I have a couple other trips planned for this summer but I'm hoping they won't be as tough as this one! In the end though, I did it and it was quite an accomplishment!
So now I'm on to more jewelry -- stay tuned!
