Drove to Dayton, VA the week prior to Thanksgiving.
Lunch at vegan restaurant. Appetizer of pasta salad (ok) and mac-and-cheese (not that good). Bacon-mushroom-swiss burger had too much sauce. My vegan Reuben was yummy.
Arrived at trailhead near our AirBnB, walked 2 miles just prior to sunset. Our progress was impeded by a stream crossing.
AirBnb is a nice cabin with full kitchen.
Watched 3 episodes of season 2 of Umbrella Academy on Netflix.
Breakfast of farm eggs + Zucchini pancakes I brought from home.
Hiked 5.7 miles on the Hone Quarry loop from noon to 3:30pm. Change in elevation was 2664'. I didn't bring enough water. Trail was dry, but lots of crunchy leaves made the trail slippery.
Early dinner at "At Thai" of too-salty-duck and too-salty-soft-shell-crab for $49.
Watched last episode of season 2 of Umbrella Academy on Netflix.
Breakfast of farm eggs + Zucchini pancakes I brought from home.
Hiked 4.8 miles from 10:40am to 12:40pm. Saw one hiker. Sunny day, about 45F.
Water level was low, but enough to show waterfall.
