I'll be leading a small group on a short trip next weekend. We plan to start just outside Front Royal on Friday morning and hike to Bears Den Hostel on Sunday around lunch time. That two and a half days about about 35 miles, give or take.
If interested, feel free to give a shout.

Here's a link to the photo album I posted of this trip, with captions which are a trip report. Me and three gals, two of whom are past thru-hikers.

Great pics! Gotta visit Va. when I get the time. Miss the state I was born in! What was the construction zone all about! Loved the pics of the bear den hostel. Ya'll had to have had a good time!
Very cool pics. thank you for sharing. Glad you survived the "Roller Coaster" LOL That looked brutal.
I recently overnighted the section between Linden/66 and Bears Den/Route 7. The rollercoaster was pretty rough, especially because I did 5 miles of it after doing almost 15 already prior.
Overall fun section! Nice pics, I have some very similar ones :)
See attached photo. The power company was, or had been, working on a new power line. I suppose while stringing the line overhead, they didn't want people milling around underneath it. That's my guess. We didn't see a soul there.Quote:

Thanks for the explanation Rain man. At least it was new transmission lines and not a row of houses! Hopefully they are way down the road!
Couldn't force yourself to do another 3/10ths of a mile? :lol:Quote:
