Old Rag Hike

Boys were stuck at home while the girls were in NYC, so we did some manly stuff:

  • Went to Home Depot for some home improvement projects
  • RJs soccer game (dominated, but tied 3-3)
  • Olive Garden with Milo
  • Hiking at Old Rag
  • Grilling burgers and steaks
 
Summit rock - fruit and water break

 
RJ at the fake peak ... where we did some bouldering


 
Hike Schedule:
  • 6:05am leave McLean
  • 7:47am begin hike
  • 9:00am RJ tiring, Doug is sweating profusely
  • 11:00am we arrive at what we thought was the summit and begin bouldering
  • 11:30am we arrive at the actual summit - several degrees cooler, windy, and refreshing. We see sign that says 5.2 miles to parking lot after hiking 3.8 miles on what Doug thought was a 6-mile hike. 
  • 12:20pm we arrive at the parking lot and curse the extra 100 yards we have to walk because Doug didn't find a good parking spot.
Rock scramble got 2 thumbs up! Joint pain, heel pain, and overall exhaustion on the fire road on the way back - uugh.
