Mill Stone on the Discovery Way Trail
This blog chronicles the hikes I've completed in the "Lee 333 Challenge". I haven't set a challenge deadline because I can't dedicate myself 100% to it. However, if the SNAP500 (or SHEN500) can be done in one year, I don't see any reason why a dedicated enthusiast couldn't complete the "Lee 333" in under a year also.
I recently decided to include all the ATV trails in the challenge too. That raises the total mileage to almost 400 miles and affects the stats below and from this point onward. I guess I'll keep calling it the Lee333 until I have a real total number of miles and come up with a snappy name.
Today's Hike:
Distance: 1.56
Duration: 1:05
Ascent: 545ft
PATC Difficulty: 41
Lee 333 Progress Summary:
Trails: 40 of 163
Trail Miles: 122.31 of 398.69 miles (276.38 miles to go)
Hiked Miles: 200.18 miles

Today's Track
My wife and I were out for a drive today near the Wildflower and Discovery Way Trails so I decided to knock them off the list.
Permanently Closed Massanutten Visitor's Center
These are two pleasant short walks next to the Closed Massanutten Visitor's Center.
Starting the Discovery Way Trail
Wildflower/Discovery Way Trail Parking
A nicely paved Discovery Way trail
An unmapped trail leads off to the right uphill!
After the walk to the Mill Stone described below, I came back here and explored this unknown/unmapped side trail.

A Very Nice Discovery Way Trail!

A short side trail at the mill stone, goes nowhere
Joining the Wildflower trail from the Massanutten South TrailThe unmapped side trail lead me up to the ridge and to the Massanutten South trail. I followed the Massanutten South trail until I intersected the wildflower trail and followed that back to the parking area.
