sunny washington weekends

Sunny Washington weekends are a rarity and this weekend is expected to be the second nice weather weekend in a row. Last weekend I got a chance to go on a hike in the Bull Run Mountains (near Haymarket) with Helen, who was checking out local places to hike for the UVA Club of Washington. I brought my camera, which I just cleaned up a few weeks ago, to get some photography practice in. My favorite picture from the roll:

Both pictures are from the top of the trail, looking westward towards the Shenandoah Mountains. If you've driven eastbound on I-66 and seen some big white rocks embedded in a hill on your left (a little before you pass the old stone mill on your left), that's the top of the trail.

I didn't get a chance to look eastward, but I am guessing it would look a little sprawly with Haymarket, Gainesville, and Bristow beneath. This weekend is a semi-working weekend for me, but I'm going to take advantage of the nice weather at some point. Oh, and the UVA Club of DC is going hiking on 15 May.
