with reporter and photographer from 
Philadelphia Inquirer tagging after 
Asking questions and taking pictures 
They left me at side trail to Big Meadows 
During the afternoon came to viewpoints 
Along Franklin Cliffs many of them. 
A brief stop at Skyland lodge 
Then Stony Man nature trail 
Mary's Rock, wife of the man who claimed 
A large area by "chopping around" it

Insect pests are the bane of the hiker 
Many viewpoints in central Shenandoah 
But usually blurred by haze and fog [[end page]]
