We got a late start in the morning. We drove out of Waynesboro onto the northern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. At MM5 we stopped to walk through the restored pioneer houses.
Driving on, we stopped to hike Humpback Rocks.
Connie gave up before half-way. It was too rough.
It got much rougher.
I was exhausted by the time I reached the top.
I didn’t quite make it to the very top, like that couple in the center left.
But I got close.
Close enough for some great views.
Naturally, it was much easier coming back down.
Once I got back to the motor home, we drove a short ways to the Humpback Rocks picnic area for lunch. And a brief rest.
