Hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Ronnie and I drove the scouts up to scout camp this past Saturday. We decided to camp that night and take a hike the next day. 


The hike started in a cow pasture. I didn't know it was a current cow pasture. Luckily, the stint in the cow pasture was short so I didn't have another cow chasing episode...remember this?



It was really a beautiful hike...a little strenuous too!



On the way back we saw some cows but luckily they weren't interested in us.

The mountains were a bit cooler than it is here. It was nice to get away from the 100 degree heat (118 heat index...) for a bit! Although, not everything during the trip went according to plan, it's always nice to enjoy nature and the outdoors.

Who knew cows liked the mountains? :) I miss how green it is in VA.

Really enjoyed your photos of the hike! So funny to recall your other hike around cows in a Kansas pasture! Guess that's when the cows decided to chase you! They probably thought you were holding out on some food for them! Ha!
