July 27, 2024 - Turkey Pen Road, Jawbone Gap, Overlook Trail and Massanutten Trail


Picture of the Day 

    This blog chronicles the hikes I've completed in the Lee 333 Challenge. I named the challenge 33"" because in my first calculation of the total mileage it added up to 333 miles. However, since then I discovered it is not that simple. I've found many trails not on the maps or in guidebooks as well as numerous abandoned logging roads. I haven't set a challenge deadline because I can't dedicate myself 100% to it. However, if the SNAP 500 (or SHEN 500) 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.

Today's Hike:
Distance: 5.71
Duration: 7:29
Ascent: 1064ft
PATC Difficulty: 110

Lee 333 Progress Summary:
Trails: 60 of 185
Trail Miles: 192.79 of 433.34 miles (240.55 miles to go)
Hiked Miles: 301.41 miles
Total Ascent: 69078 feet

The trail tore up my old boots

Bear poop?



The fall zone, I fell here, there's my pack where I ended up on my back.

Fall Safety handle rock. I grabbed that rock when I fell to prevent myself from going over the edge.
