BBun went on three days of hikes - the Virginia Triple Crown
Where the scenery was sure to not cause a frown
Her main goal was to stay upright
Because a tumble would have hurt, that’s right
 |
| Dragon's Tooth! |
First up was a hike to Dragon’s Tooth
BBun thinks rock scrambles are fun if you want the truth
 |
| The rock scrambles were more fun than the stairs! |
One person in the group was really brave
And went all the way to the top - no way!!!
 |
| And she climbed all the way up! |
On the way back down they saw a huge rat snake
He moved through the leaves quickly, for goodness sake
 |
| The foggy view from Tinker Cliffs |
The second day was to Tinker Cliffs
Rainy and overcast if you want the drift
A couple of bridge crossings and past a cow in a pasture
Happy it wasn’t a bull - of that you can be sure!
So many stairs had to be climbed
Going back down them would be a grind!
They couldn’t see the Murder Hole or Scorched Earth views
So BBun Googled them later - what else could she do?
A couple of dudes on their way up said they were living the dream
As BBun struggled to make her way down she could see what they mean!
Saturday afternoon BBun revisited the Roanoke Star
After a burst of rain the sky cleared and you could see kind of far
The third day brought chilly but more clear weather
And the hike to McAfee Knob would sure to be a winner
 |
| At McAfee Knob! |
BBun has to admit, going in she was pretty beat
But didn’t want to miss it as she heard the view was sweet
They got started just before first light
Should have had a head lamp - but no need for a fright!
 |
| Sunrise on McAfee Knob...next time! |
On the way they passed lots of folks on their way back
They’d been there to see the sunrise - that’s NOT whack
 |
| Hiking with friends is the most fun! |
They all agreed that that would be cool
But it was nice to preview the hike mostly in the daylight - they aren’t fools
 |
| Thanks for the cool picture, Tracy! |
Bottom line, is BBun stayed upright all three days
Though a few close calls might have been made!
