Jonesin' For A Gap

I really could not have busted my frame at a better point in time. I don’t think too many have been making it out for rides in this winter wonderland we are having. Although I do miss the chance to don my snow gear and go for a ride.

I drug some friends up to the top of the Hospital Rock trail at Jones Gap last Saturday. It was an awesomely cloudy day that would eventually clear up.

New Year’s Eve we made it up to the gap again for a hike to the overlook.

Shade Monster finally poses for a picture!

Some nice clouds filled the valley early in the morning.

Chillin' at the overlook.
Frank a.k.a. I can find that ball no matter where you throw it. . .
For some, it was there first hike. Some techy spots out there as I don't like to hike where I could ride.

If you keep your eyes peeled, the forest is a grown man's jungle gym.
