When we began planning the trip back in November, we weren’t exactly sure what it would look like. Once we realized that Samantha wouldn’t be camping with us this summer, we prepped for my brother-in-law and nephew to join us during the first leg. We will miss Samantha, but she is doing amazing things as she landed a fantastic neuroscience internship at the University of Alabama.
We picked up Jon and Josh in DC at the start of the trip. They had flown in the night before and spent the morning seeing several DC sights. We made our way to the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. The Seneca Shadows campground had nice sites close to the Via Ferrata hike. The hike boasted rugged cliffs and steep terrain, which required us to be secured to a fixed cable. The hike perfectly blended excitement and natural beauty, making it an unforgettable adventure. Stay tuned to hear all about it!
