  • Pete got to my house a little after 0600, and we headed out to SNP. Traffic on the Beltway was reasonable, so we got to Warrenton with plenty of time to grab coffee and lunch at the Wawa. We got to the Old Rag parking lot around 0830. Mike had arrived around 0800.
  • The grind up Robertson Mt was tough, and by the time we got to the summit we were all pretty tired. The rocky descent was also challenging. We got back to the cars around 0330, so we decided to head up to Skyline Drive to check out the basalt columns near Crampton Peak.
  • After the short hike to the basalt columns and back (about 2 miles) we drove to Front Royal to have dinner at Try Thai.
  • Pete and I got back to College Park around 2200. We chatted for a while, then hit the hay.
  • Up around 0700, breakfast at iHop, and then called it a day.
