A Walk in the Woods




I am slightly concerned about the deer around here- they are way too friendly to people. If the economy ever collapses, i'm coming here for steak.
I was just sat in reception of the hotel and overheard a man asking if he could leave his dog outside his cabin overnight. The lady replied 'We don't advise that sir, the bears tend to eat them'.



The Shenandoah itself is lovely, the temperature is 25-30C and with the vegetation it feels quite like Europe. The hills roll off in mist into the distance. We're a little spoilt by the canyons of Utah where it was completely clear for 50miles!

The Appalachian Trail passes very close to our cabin and we walked along a tiny section of the 2100mile length (all the way from Georgia to Maine). A few hundred people walk the entire length in one season- i'd be impressed if i did 100miles!
