I see you've returned for a snazzy, Sunday blog. Very wise decision you've made.
Yesterday I did something that i've never done before and did not think I would survive: I decided, no not by myself you don't need to worry, to get up at 3am and go hiking in Blacksburg, Virginia.My flashlight did help minimize my fear of not knowing what snakes, bears, wolves, mountain lions, and other flesh-eating monsters were hiking among us, but luckily the only animals we encountered were spiders, and not just spiders, but many, many, MANY spider webs. For this fact alone, I was grateful to walk in the back of the line (no spider webs for me).
WE MADE IT! Were you suprised? Yeah, me too.
With about 30 minutes to spare until sunrise I think to myself "There's no way i'll be able to fall back asleep after we're back home." I never knew my body was capable of going through such hard manual labor before 4am. I probably slept walk the first hour on the way up, but I did make it to the top without dying.
Thankfully, none of the other hikers fell off the knob (the top) or got injured while we were there, which is good because that would've put quite the damper on our adventure.
I never knew mountains could continue on forever- leaving this hike, I now know they can. They absolutely can.
To answer your question, No i did not sleep walk up McAfee Knob, there were too many mosquitos pinching me awake.
Stay tuned for my next probably not at 3am adventure, through a lens.
