So today's hike to Lover's Leap at Natural Tunnel in Duffield, Va...I am slightly disappointed. I haven't made this hike in over five years, and I really had it in my mind that it was more challenging. Even with a two year old in tow, it was a breeze.
Once we realized how easy this hike was going to be, we planned to go down to the tunnel and back again this week, just for the exercise. Logan had other plans. Plans like lunch and a nap. The type of plans that you don't argue with a two year old about. But all in all, it was an ok outing, and I am thankful that at least we did get to go out. And despite the rain, it was a beautiful, cool spring day. The butterflies and this friendly lizard thought so too!
Also, the view didn't exactly stink. Lover's Leap looks over the tunnels, right down to where we hiked last week, and it felt as if we were looking eye to eye with the mountains around us.
Next week we are thinking of checking out trails either in Cumberland Gap, or in Wise county. A lot will depend on the weather, and if we can get a sitter for Logan. Either way, I will update again after next week's hike!
