We had planned to leave today for a mini vacation to do some AT hiking in Virginia, but the weather forecast is a bit unsettled for the next few days, so we cancelled our trip. We had time in the morning for a quick hike before it rained. Glen is happy to do the same hike over and over again - I prefer new hikes all the time. But we knew we didn't have much time and this hike is so convenient. Up to Haw Creek Overlook - lots of people out hiking even on a weekday morning. My water bottle which fell out of my backpack is still wedged into the cliff. Glen asked if I had any friends who are rock climbers. No bears. On the way down, I took a flying fall. Luckily my lower body is all good. I banged up one of my hands pretty good. That's okay, because I don't need it to hike :)

Glen checking to see if my water bottle is still down the cliff. It is.
