Willow, a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, walks an Appalachian Trail section in Virginia over 2 days in January 2023...just to get out in the snow.
Day 1 we start at Keys Gap and walk south along the VA/WV Stateline to Blackburn Trail Center. Temperatures stay in the mid 20s (F) with 20 mph winds. Thankfully the trail stays mostly on the east side of the ridge and is shielded from the westerly wind.
We stay in the Hiker Cabin and fire up the wood stove. Overnight outside temperatures drop to the low teens (F) with 10-20 mph winds. We keep the feeding the stove and stay toasty warm in the cabin. The water faucet was on and the caretakers offered to warm it up with a blow torch if it froze.
Big thanks to the PATC caretakers for their hospitality and maintaining the trail center!
