Hit the (Appalachian) Trail: Black and White Sunday

If at first you don't succeed...

Last year the males (including Toby) were supposed to complete a 10-day, 100 mile hike in the Shenandoah Mountains. Walking the Appalachian Trail by day, pitching a tent and eating jerky and Mountain House by night. 
Meanwhile us ladies (me and Amber) relaxed by the pool at a fancy bed and breakfast near the trailhead. We like backpacking too, but not for 10 days. On the third day we were called in to rescue the men-in-distress, to their chagrin, but hey, safety first. They wisely chose safety over pride.

...try again!
Kevin is bravely smiling while shivering. Toby looks baffled. "Haven't we been here before?" In B&W the trailhead looks as dreary as it felt on Friday. 
Ted, Kevin, and Toby have rebooted the adventure. It was raining, windy, and an unseasonable 56 degrees - not ideal for starting a long trip. But so far - no news is good news and they are still out there somewhere on the Appalachian Trail!


And they're off!

    1. Haha the shower issue is what keeps me out of it.
      Well, and probably too slow to cover 13+ miles a day.
