I got to celebrate dad's birthday by taking him on a new hike in George Washington National Forest. The hike included a great ridgeline hike and some rock scrambling but also one of the most brutal ascents/descents in Virginia.
Low lying clouds in the valley are a rare sight.
The morning sun quickly burned away the clouds.
Ironically the one closely named to "pooped" was not the exhausted individual at the end of this hike.
After walking well past the summit trail, this was the first of many overlooks.
