Few pics from this year’s edition of Sophie’s Death March, aka, Day 1 of the Trifecta. Hoping my body holds up for days 2 & 3. Hollows were hot, still, and humid. Ridgeline was warm, dry, and breezy.

Don’t have much hope for tomorrow’s weather. First three miles are notoriously wet.

If you in the , , and support + rights, please consider patronizing Before & After Cafe in Sperryville, VA.

The owner recently received an unsigned letter from a disappointed customer. The customer took issue with him wearing a shirt that said "Protect Trans Kids," claiming it was offensive to the families and children at the cafe.

The cafe's owner posted a copy of the letter to FB, so it isn't any kind of secret he supports the rights of trans humans.

Also, they make pretty good sandwiches.

Had an easy morning planned so hit Little Devil Stairs in the . It wasn’t the most beautiful or striking day for it, but the weather was nice. Surprisingly, had the place to myself. Took Keyser Run FR back down. Love this loop, but the old family plot, from before the park, is always bittersweet.

An inch of snow fell last night. Skyline was already closed in anticipation. Took a border access trail up and decided to hop on the Drive. It was a gorgeous day to be up there—sunny, slight wind, right around freezing. Followed a fox’s tracks for a mile and half, meandering along the road.

A not so fun 15 miles yesterday in the . First ten were good, including going up Corbin Mt, which has always been a slog in the past, but Indian Run still sucks.

Had one of those “this is so stupid and so fun” mornings. Hit Buck Hollow and Buck Ridge in the on a cold, blustery morning. Light dusting of snow on the mountains. Def ran at a “scenic” pace today. Smiling the whole f’ing way.

I’ve been up this trail …[checks Strava]… 92 times. How have I never noticed these chimneys standing in the woods?

I’d tag , but chances are the household was resettled when the park was established.

2022 fishing summary: final
Took a trip to Shenandoah National Park in search of brook trout. We hiked quite a few miles that day up beautiful mountain streams, but was not able to catch a brookie. Caught a few of these fall fish (maybe?), which definitely have a taste for beadheads. I need another trip to complete the Shenandoah brookie quest.

New Years resolution: fish more, fish harder

Got up in the mountains this morning. Bit chilly, around 35°F, motivation to keep moving, and felt like it should snow.

The weather did not disappoint. Damp, foggy, and you could hear the wind howling through the gap.

A pair of salamanders who crossed my path while walking in Shenandoah in September.

Their common names were different amounts of helpful in identifying them.

Blue-tailed Skink :
Blue tail ✔️
Looks like a skink ✔️ (even to a non-herper like me)

Red-spotted Newt:
Red spots - I mean I guess, if you're counting red spots on a red background..
Newt ❌️
