McAfee's Knob

1 June mile 698. made it to McAfee's Knob. a famous photo op on the trail. great weather and better views. the trail is good and the hot days have added to the challenge. Tinker Cliffs, and the Dragon Tooth were good playgrounds recently. The views are incredible and the climbs are out of this world. Have seen a few rattlesnakes. fell on some rocks coming down a hill (did i mention i hate rocks) a good laugh for anyone watching. the one thing about getting up after a fall if your a hiker, is that you have an addiditonal 40 lbs on your back. lets just say, if you can envivison a turtle trying to get off its back, thats about what i looked like. But all was good, i was aobut to enter the Blueridge Parkway. The promised land of well graded trail, no slopes no rocks or roots, and cheeseburgers and milkshakes every 10 - 20 miles.....
