I can't decide what to do tomorrow. I'm hiking in the Blue Ridge Pkwy area. My wife is going to drop me off and pick me up (what a woman! :) I can have her drop me off at Parkers gap Road and hike north to the James River bridge. That would be 17 miles and I'd stay out overnight. Or I can get dropped off a little further north at milepost 74.9 and have her pick me up at Virginia 614 near Jennings Creek later the same day.

The first hike can be leisurely but I'd be lugging overnight gear. The second would be 15 miles in a day, my upper limit especially in the heat. What should I do?!?


Does anybody know the condition of route 614 in the Middle Creek Picnic area?

I'd do the day hike & then go out for supper with my wife--best of both worlds. Also, do the 15, then do that distance a couple more times, and then start thinking of 20 as your upper limit. You can do it!
