Charlottesville, VA

We've arrived in Charlottesville, VA, having met up with one of my most favorite relatives, Aunt Mary, who has done so much for me over the years, including driving down to the AT crossing near Buena Vista to pick us up today. I've neglected this blog over the past couple of weeks, but don't you worry, I shall catch you up on all of our adventures including, but not limited to....

1. Tick removal
2. "Behold, Virginia!" - Mountains with Views in Southern VA
3. Wildflowers and Wildlife Encounters
4. Sleeping with Little Ollie, the ghost of Punchbowl Mountain
5. Ranger and the Seventh Attempt
6. Johnny Mudd and other Trail Magic

Also...Happy Birthday, Spike, who is 25 and congratulations to M's sister and my mother on their recent graduations.
