It began as a nice day back in Greensboro and on into Virginia. When we turned onto the final road to the trailhead, we realized we'd not be taking the trail up to the Parkway. There was about a foot of hardpack on the ground. Plan B was to follow the old road up to the Parkway. Of the 9 of us only 3 did not have foot traction. It was slick but not too bad. We made our way up the road about 2 1/2 miles and ran into a lump of ice the covered the road and prevented any further progress. So, we turned back, had lunch in the old barn by the one house along the trail.
After finishing, I hiked up a short trail at a private park and took the last photo here, a great view looking north.
