You're clearly a bright guy, so let me help explain to the others.

First, you're a Virginian.

Second, you know that any day hiking is better than any day working.

Agreed!

Welcome to the forums, and have fun on your hike!

The hike was great. Hot...but we had watermelon in the cooler waiting for us in the car. I asked the ranger about the fires further north and he said it is 30% contained.

Oh yeah...I'm a gal. :)

Hey leadfoot! Welcome to the site and glad the hike went well. I'll definitely have to remember the watermelon trick for my next hot weather trip! :)

There's nothing like returning to the car with a cooler full of ice and a large ziplock full of cut up watermelon. It is refreshing, and rehydrates...not to mention dipping your bandana in the ice water and cooling yourself down.

cthiker...yep. the GWF is a great place for hiking.

Love to hike the Shenandoah too and have done many hikes there. This heat is something else. Anyone up for a weekday hike?

Hiked for 10 days in Canada- Newfoundland's Gros Morne NP and Nova Scotia's Cape Breton- Awesome and no humidity.
