Memorial Day Weekend

So far, my Memorial Day weekend has been pretty active. I headed out to Shenandoah National Park for some hiking. I had also planned on going camping, but the park was very busy, and all of the campgrounds had filled up by the time that I reached the park. Since I had not originally planned on backcountry camping, I did not have my pack with me, so that ruled out that option. Still, despite the change in plans, I had a very enjoyable time hiking. I hiked down the White Oak Canyon Trail about three miles, and got to see two of the six waterfalls along the river. I have posted pictures from my hike online here.

Today, I rode the W&OD Trail from Sterling to Purcellville and back, for about a forty mile ride. Despite it being the holiday weekend, the trail was not too busy. I was running a little slow by the end of my ride, which means that I really need to work on getting myself back into shape.
