Sunday I had a day off (!) and I took the opportunity to do a bit of hiking in the Appalachian mountains near the highest point of Virginia (about 1500m) 1 hour SW of Wytheville. After a while I found a trail that I believed to be part of the Appalachian trail, a route stretching roughly 2/3 of the US from North to South. On second thought (and after hiking for 3 hours) it appeared to be the Virginian Horse Trail... ah well...
