The 18th comment of my previous post - no doubt left by a bored Brit with time on his hands now that Man U has won the title - asked for another travel post. I was hesitant to post these, because they're not the most striking of photos, but here goes...Last Friday I went to Shenandoah National Park and hiked the Whiteoak Canyon Trail with my younger brother and his fiánce. It was mid-50s and overcast; perfect day to hike. The trailhead is off Skyline Drive near the highest point in the park. The first mile or mile and a half is a gradual downhill that takes you to the stream drainage. You then cross over the stream, by bridge, and continue down a fairly steep canyon. The trail passes by 6 waterfalls. We got to the bottom of the 2nd waterfall, turned around and went back to the trailhead. All in all, about a 5 mile hike in about 2.5 hours. At first, we were kind of disappointed that more of the trees weren't leafed out, but then we warmed up to the haunted feeling of the bare forest.

The second to last pic doesnt do justice to how high that cliff is and how far that waterfall drops.
True dat.
I'm "leafed out" right now, DD!!!!
Ha ha! I purposely used the word 'git' in my last comment, wondering if you would know it was me, there's no flies on you man!
A tad hurtful though, about the Man Utd comment, those bloody northerners!
Whether you think some photo's are not quite up to your high standards, your fans still appreciate you for psoting them. it is nice to see other area's of the country that probably a lot of us haven't seen and the commentary with them too is great. It also helps those of us that are 'living the dream', get through the working day.
Good one, Ernie!
I'm wise to your Brit ways and lingo. Also, you're right about the Northerners - they speak the same language, but you can't understand a word they're saying. Especially the ones from Liverpool and Manchester.
Ernie,
Is this medical "leafed out," or black market "leafed out?"
