Parkway South – August 26, 2022

Posted on August 28, 2022 by WCBC

Stops were Wagon Gap Overlook, Log Hollow Overlook, and Wolf Mountain Overlook. It started pouring with rain just as we finished and we had to abandon all plans of going for lunch at Courthouse Valley Overlook (except for Jim who stopped by and found the Stiff Gentian there).
