Spring Broke Update: Old Rag Climb

So we did make it out of the house for Spring Broke. We made it all the way to the top of Old Rag. According to the National Park Service, the Old Rag circuit is 8.8 miles. Climbing to the summit required serious rock scrambling, a feat the kids relish. We took the "easy" way back which is 4.5 miles of well-worn trails and a fire road. The kids did a great job all the way, though we all got a little crabby for the last mile or so. Some photos from along the way:







Picture of what we think was the summit from about half way up.

















Sibling harmony. Even if pretend.












Wind picking up as we got higher. Note Jordy's birthday shirt.













Getting closer to the summit!















It's cold at the top!
