It's a Tuesday, so why not head into a rarely visited part of Shenandoah NP in the northern part of the Central Section? We will do a lollipop of about 6 miles, starting and ending on the Hannah Run Trail, and including Catlett Mountain, Hazel Mountain, and Catlett Spur Trails. If folks want to, we can add some miles on some out and back sections of several other trails in the area. Expect some elevation change, especially at the beginning (down) and end (up) of the hike. And be prepared to cross some streams. Although I would expect to be able to rock hop the streams, I would be prepared to wade across as well. If people want, we can do a short car shuttle at the start and do a slightly longer loop (about 7 miles) instead of a lollipop. Contact Art Ritter at o2behiking@yahoo.com if interested. I am limiting the hike to 10, although on a Tuesday, that should not be an issue. Bring a lunch to enjoy on the trail.
