Hiking! AT

[rootofnewt]

It was a creepily gorgeous day, so we went to the mountains for a hike.

We parked at the Dripping Rock pullover on the Blue Ridge Parkway (most of Skyline Drive is still closed from the Thanksgiving ice storm) and headed south on the AT.

After about a half mile of treacherous downhill wet stones and leaves, we arrived at the first overlook. We looked over the Shenandoah Valley while we basked in the sun. It was awesome.

Happy me.
Happy boy.
Happy poodledog.

I had super minor asthma tightness coming back on the steepest portions, but nothing so severe as what I was experiencing a month ago. And it resolved with rest. Woohoo!

I was itching to hiking and almost did, thats when I decided I better go to RS. I figured, if I felt well enough to hike...I should probably be here. I'm doing okay - just a cough and minor sore throat. Weeee.

I am going to pout and cry until I can see some BELLY PICS. Belly pics with scenic mountain backdrops are good. Hint--hint.
