Dickey's Friday Dec 31

Post by Joe Schad »

Looks like a Dickey's Day to me. The Shenandoah National Park recording says the drive is closed from Mile marker 6 to mile marker 31 so it would be a long hike in. Any interest?

Well, I parked my car at the closed gate at the five mile point of the park and hiked in with my pack. Beautiful day with a nice 5 to 7 breeze straight in. Just a perfect launchable day at Dickey's. I tried to contact Zelda who had left rather firm instructions that I not screwup our trip to Hawaii next week by flying by myself. I tried to call her from launch, got no answer. Then got to thinking about Lazio some time back flying by himself just before leaving on an overseas vacation. He had an unintended situation develop that cancelled his vacation. Never forget the look on his wife's face. So I decided to bag it and do a little site maintenance and enjoy the hike in.
