Cabin Trip in Lost City, West Viginia
Trip Summary
This turned out to be a fantastic trip. I embarked on this trip with my fiance, a few friends, and two dogs. We hit the road on Saturday, May 25th around noon. Our first stop was in Manassas, Virginia at a local grocery store.
We bought some deli counter sandwiches, snacks, and other treats. After this, we continued to Shenandoah National Park and completed a 4 mile hike. A couple of photos from the hike are below.
Unfortunately, it began raining about 20 minutes into the hike.
Did you know that rain isn't pure water, or H2O? Read about the chemical composition of rain.
The path back was still long, so we tried to play word games and tell stories to pass the time.
It was trying, but we emerged victorious after over an hour of hiking.
The evening concluded with pizza from a local restaurant in a gorgeous, secluded cabin. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.
