Picture of the Day
This blog chronicles the hikes I've completed in the Lee 333 Challenge. I
named the challenge 333 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 Track
Firefly in wardensville West Virginia. They only have four rooms I got room number three
This sign said Ellis Hollow 3.2 MI. I walked 2.2 and I was nowhere near Ellis Hollow. Even though the Logging Road continued I can't figure out where it went. By my Reckoning it should be only 1 mi further to Ellis Hollow but when you find Ellis Hollow on the map it's three or four miles more miles away.
I stopped for 45 minutes spread out my tarp and just relaxed.
It was such a great day and such fantastic weather I stayed here about an hour and a half and just relax and enjoy the weather.
