We spent most of the day in Virginia at Abram Falls and in Abingdon.
The walk out to Abram Falls was a sporty hike with some good up and down along the way. It provided several opportunities to bust ass on slippery rocks and narrow trails on the side of a mountain, but thankfully nobody took any big tumbles. Check out this link for someone who fell 90 feet there in August. The trail started at the end of a road that wound back into a holler and was in a relatively remote location. We arrived above the falls and then took a trail around the side that leads down to the base. They were about 100 feet high and super cool. As you can see in the pictures, you can actually go up under them without getting wet. All along the way the reds and yellows were screaming at us and it made for a spirited trip.
After we walked back out from the falls we headed to Abingdon, which will be our finishing point for Thursday's hike of a 17-mile section of the Virginia Creeper Trail. My uncle Johnny has has a ton of his hand-made baskets on display there and we stopped by the showing. The downtown area is quite quaint and it includes the Barter Theater which is the State Theater of Virginia. Tons of color on display there as well.
Added 85 pictures to the photo gallery today.
