The Facts are: We hiked 13.5 miles total; our route on this day was Red Box to the Kenyon Devore Trail up to the top of Wilson and down the Wilson Road.
We were on the trail at 7:45am. The bugs were swarming us and headnets were definately in order. Actually the bugs are even annoying with the headnets because they cover the outside of the net which makes me feel creepy. We weren't sure how long the Kenyon Devore trail was and it turns out it was 3.5 miles. About two miles in there was a old beach chair (note: this was not a lightweight camp chair) discarded along the side of the trail. It was Sharon's idea to carry it out. I must admit that, although it was heavy, I was glad we did. I left it at the top in hopes a ranger would dispose of it. I fully expect to see it there the next time we visit.
We didn't see any wildlife today but the trail was peaceful. We saw few people most of the day and no one at all on Kenyon Devore. It was one of the most beautiful days and may well have been perfect if not for the bugs.
