Cool. I’m glad you made it. When we finally made contact with Big Steve he ended up at the gas station in Warrenton where we originally met. Kevin’s friend Frank ended up heading back to Leesburg. Mehai lost everyone and just headed home. Kevin and his friend headed back down the mountain to meet Frank in Warrenton. Kasey went down to hook up with Big Steve to keep in from getting lost but Big Steve got lost anyway and ended up in Fredericksburg. He got home ok. I headed back up Skyland but everyone had left by that time. I did pass Dale coming down the mountain on my way to Skyland. I waited up there for Kasey who finally joined me. It was kind of late to do the trek we had originally planned so we had a couple of quick ones and headed back down to 211 and headed back. We will do it again and this time give EVERYONE an orientation on the entrance to Skyline.
