The four of us had a good time together for Christmas. RJ came first, then Vivian and we 3 full days over Christmas together to cook, eat, play, and worship.
RJ left Saturday night and I was blessed by an employee of Southwest...
We took the red trail first.
So excited...brrr!
Oh, Deer!
Trail markers
We are following the blue markers...
We head for Snead Farm
I lurk at the back of the hike, I stop to take photos(and rest), actually I take photos to rest...I'm slow!
Snead Farm barn
Root cellar
Hard to believe they farmed these hills of trees and rocks.
Steps up to the home place, now gone.
Jim caught me resting.
Step over carefully here...
So long farm of Snead.
Polka dot tree
Green rocks
Selfie time, out of breath...steep climb...
Friendly face ahead of me...
More rocks, and a view through the leafless trees.
Now I am the lead hiker...not for long though.
Scenic view spot.
Fungus among us.
They passed me...
Trees roots are how my legs are feeling...
The greens...
Woodpecker hotel
Bathroom break.
Drive to next trail and eat lunch in the car.
Next trail.
Looking for Prismatic features...and also on the Appalachian Trail.
Jim is King of the Rock!
I climbed up too!
Vivian, in search of plant life...
And now it is time to drive to town, maybe a yarn or fabric shop?
I found my friend...and we located a BBQ place for dinner. 
It was ok, still searching for a great one!
Peace! (And Snow?)
On Monday, Jim, Vivian and I went to walk off some of the extra cookies and Bings at the Shenndoah National Park. It was a dreary day, foggy and gray...but a good day to check out a trail or two.
The visitor center was closed this time of year but we parked the car and started here.
The trail continues...
Strong little anchors to the rock.
