[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Nova BB "Evening Stroll" at Hunter Station, Thurs 7/14 @ 1930

Location change to Hunter Station

~~Let's try Annandale again this week~~.

Note, the VDOT lot we used to park in is now closed off. New step off point at Americana Park by the ball field.

This is a low-profile hike. With daylight savings time, Karens will be around. That combined with the new step off location, no long guns or battle rattle. Feel free to sport helmets and NODs.

We'll make an audible on site which direction we go.

Bugs are coming out, so bring some spray if you're sensitive.

Standard boilerplate follows;
PM me if you need directions to the step off point.
Step off will be at dusk, so bring a head lamp or flashlight if you're scared of the dark. NODs are always in season.
Leashed K9's are welcome. We will see deer and other critters so use your judgement.
Wear good boots / socks.
Bring water.
Return trip will be in the dark. Bring lighting of your choice.
PM me if you want off the notifications list.

As of this minute, I have no plans that hour and plan on being there. That might change at any point, but it's been awhile and I wouldn't mind sweating through the woods with you fine gents again.

Turns out I tweaked my SI joint, causing inflammation and placing pressure on the nerve. Told to chill and given specific exercises/stretches. It’s improved considerably, since I injured it three weeks ago, but I’m out this week and next.

I'm out. Got called in to work.

Tonight after work I have to do some last minute prep for boyscouts summer camp happening this weekend (and all next week) so I will have to miss tonight’s stroll.

I spent last night at the range with a neighbor (and BB/APC bro) instead of getting camping supplies like I should have.

Y’all have fun.

OK, switching gears, going to meet homeyclaus at the Hunter Station step off. Same time.

That was fun!

New hike route from Hunter Station. Pay attention to the Uphill / Downhill #'s.

I think we'll be doing this one more often.

I’m familiar with that route. Nice hill leading up to Twin Branches.

10 miles from the flag I marked on the map. 6.1 miles distance for the hike.

And Mr. Domino dog was protesting for most of the walk back.

That route was rewarding, IMO. My sport watch said i actually got some cardio from it. For whatever reason, on the way out you have this sense of foreboding as you're going downhill most of the way and you know you have to come back up. Turn out the return felt easier and felt faster than the way out.
