Event: 2016 Corn Maze Champs
Hiking 3:00:00 [1]
We started walking around 10am after a leisurely breakfast. We were moving well, and the weather was beautiful.
Here are some pictures:

The plan was to hike for about 8-9 miles, and then settle down at a campsite by a creek. We stopped for lunch around 1pm, and continued heading south. As we approached the creek we were going to camp by, it became clear that all the acceptable campsites were taken, and so we marched onward. After we filled up with water at the last creek crossing, Chris and the Culbergs went ahead to scout campsites, and Martin, Alli, and I kept going at our own pace, slower than the rest.
We managed to take the wrong trail and climb up a hill where the trail dead-ended, adding an extra mile and a half and a whole bunch of climb to the route. By the time we caught up to our advance scouts, who had already found a campsite, we were pretty beat, having walked about 11.5 miles on the day.
After setting up camp, we had a nice evening by the first, discussing all sorts of issues, including the value of a human life in Russian culture.

Hiking 30:00 [1]
We went backpacking!
Alli, Barnacle, and I were joined by Martin, Hannah, Kevin, and Chris for a weekend of adventure in Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia. It's a beautiful place, with an ecosystem very different than elsewhere in the DC area. There were parts that reminded me of Scandinavia, with large open meadows and bogs and moss growing. Just a spectacular place that must be breathtaking in the fall.
We hiked just over a mile in from the trailhead and set up camp.

Hiking 2:30:00 [1]
An excellent, 5-hour hike in the backcountry of Shenandoah National Park. We did the Overall Run / Beecher Ridge hike with Alli and Barnacle. Great hike with some nice woods and beautiful views. No bears were spotted. At the end, we came to a wonderful swimming hole complete with a natural water slide. Much needed on this hot day!
