Our oldest daughter Jennifer and her husband Mike were visiting for the weekend. Jenny wanted to do a hike in the CVNP. She picked one of the trails we did when the girls were young: the 2 waterfalls hike. Last time she picked the trail the weather was miserable: rain and cold. This time we showed up and the trail was closed for repairs. She can’t get a break, maybe next time Jen.
The ranger at the trailhead did say that the steam train would be rolling by in about 15 minutes if we wanted to see that. We did and found a good spot to wait, it was worth it.
I have to say it is a lot easier hiking with adult daughters. No whining and I didn’t even bring skittles.
