Last Day in Shenandoah NP

On our last day, we did some more hikes, such as the Big Run Loop. The weather was really humid, but it was still very enjoyable. The Trail would take us partially to the Appalachian Trail, where we would encounter people that are hiking the trail right now (they have a little flag with the sign of the Appalachian Trail on their backpack, showing that they are taking on this big challenge to walk the length of the whole Appalachian Trail).
We kept joking that, because I am one of the fast hikers, I would be doing the whole Appalachian Trail in two weeks (average is ca. 6 months) and we were laughing while André said things like "they won't see Kayley coming" (because I would have to be inhumanly fast to actually complete this trail in 2 weeks). Or as Stefanie said, after I am done, it isn't the Appalachian Trail but the Appalachian Highway (since my speed would blast away any trees that are in my way).
We also found a snake on the trail. Since it was in the middle of the trail, we took a stick and pushed it more in the bushes, so no one would step on it. The snake was rather confused, I think.
In the evening, we packed up. Sadly, it was our last day in the NP, though we would go to a National Forest in the morning.Read more
