Page Valley Road Race

Spencer signed up for a bike race in Page Valley, Virginia. Our friends Brandon and Laura Strawn/Grube joined me in watching Spencer. He did really well and we had a good time!

This first picture is blurry but You can seen Spencer with his arm out waving to us!

Brandon and Laura waiting at the finish line.

Here comes Spencer...YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!


PUSH SPUD! PUSH!



I am dumb and did not get a picture at the finish line, but just imagine
him crossing it about 50 yards from the last picture...

After the race we ate at this great little breakfast place in Luray, VA.
It is called Uncle Buck's. Spencer bought a shirt there that
says, "Uncle Buck's Meat is Hard to Beat!" It's pretty hilarious.


After breakfast we made our way to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
It was a beautiful day but it sure was HUMID!




This is Spencer and I at the top of Little Stoney Man.

This is Laura and me entering the Jungle...



Can you see the fog?

That sign says that where we are standing is the highest point on the

Virginia Highlands Section of the Appalachian Trail.

We had to show proof that we did actually hike on THE Appalachian Trail. This white mark is the blaze that shows the trail for the whole Appalachian Trail which is 2,181 miles.

And this is a crazy, giant...nasty millipede.

Our drive out was very foggy.
