This year we participated in a Virginia State Park sponsored First Day Hike at Wilderness Road State Park. We had a good sized group with a few new hikers despite the persistent drizzle. There were also three other families/couples that participated. The naturalist was quite pleased with the size of the group, and he led us out on a mile and a half loop with his young son at his side. We learned a few things about the park, which is quite nice, and some about the flora and fauna in the park. They had a lot of recent bear activity in the corn field he said. Martin's fort is supposed to be one of the most authentic in the area. It was built with the tools and methods of the day.
It was good to get outside and enjoy the day with our group. Hopefully, we will visit the park again.
