Last fall we had an amazing evening hike up to the top of Sharp Top Mountain. Just two days earlier we hiked Tinker Cliffs at sunset which meant hiking down the mountain in the dark! Since it takes my eyes a long time to adjust to the dark I was nervous about the darkness in the forest. As it turns out, it was the absolute coolest experience. The sounds, the mysterious eyes in the darkness, the feel of the night air was different and exciting. So just two days later we were on our way back from Bedford and passed the first two peaks and came up to Sharp Top. We decided to hike it on the spur of the moment. I’m so glad we did! We met Perry and Noah who had just graduated from Liberty University.
On the way up we had met Mr. Oakey of the Oakey Funeral Home commercials. He was gracious and kind.
We headed back down in the dark. What a delightful and memoral day that was.
