WV Weekend Plans

This year's plan of small trips, rather than one big trip, continues this weekend with a trip to West Virginia. Things have been so busy here with in-laws visits and major life events that I haven't been nearly as involved in the planning as I usually am. But that's okay, the guys excel at this, and I know they'll come up with something good.

Here's what I do know. We'll gather at my house this evening - Eric and Ted in the early evening. John dropped his gear here last night, so we'll pack the rented SUV, talk over plans for hikes, and wait for John - who is attending a wedding tonight, but has promised us that he'll be here by 9pm.

When he gets here, we'll hit the road and drive to the vicinity of Winchester, VA, where we have a motel reservation. That's about a 3 hour drive, and hopefully gets us there and in bed not too long after midnight.

Saturday morning, we'll have about a two-hour drive to Seneca Shadows campground, which is where we'll be until Monday, when we'll drive home.

Normally, I would have researched the hikes in that area - but I haven't had a chance to do any of that. I'm sure there are good ones - Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob are very close. I know Eric has researched, and I'd be shocked if John and Ted haven't too. If today is a light day at work, I'll do some Googling. If there's no time for that, I'll pick their brains tonight.

As always, I'll post a full trip report when I return.
