THE HIKE:
On my way to St. Louis, MO to clear out my mother's house. She was recently placed in a nursing home (she's 90 years old) and I wanted to get the house in shape for when we come to visit her. I am backlogged on my trip reports because I have been very, very busy purging, recycling, freecyling, donating, selling, getting the dryer, dishwasher, plumbing repaired, all while working. This is hike on day 1 of the drive to St. Louis.
 |
| Heading north on the Tuscarora Trail. |
 |
| It's about a mile to the top where the views start. |
 |
| Some are seasonal views but they start to open up along the way, |
 |
| Eagle Rock |
 |
| This is where the rest of the world turns back for a 2-mile hike. Not us, on we went. |
 |
| The trail runs along a ridge on the VA/WV line so sometimes you are in VA, sometimes in WV, sometimes in both. |
 |
| Coming up on a power cut ... |
 |
| with views into Virginia on the right ... |
 |
| ... and views into West Virginia on the left, |
 |
| We veered left leaving the Tuscarora Trail on a power cut service road. The plan was to hike a loop. Sometimes things don't turn out as planned. |
 |
| West Virginia |
 |
| This would be where we would have turned left to hike a loop but turns out it is private property. Oh well, an out-and-back it is. |
 |
| Heading back. |
 |
| Now retracing south on the Tuscarora Trail. |
 |
| Stopping back by Eagle Rock for another look at the views. |
