With the weather nice, the club (today Rekha, Deept, and Jody, though we ran into Van on the hike) set out for Sharp Top for a hike with a winery stop at LeoGrande in Goode, VA. Sharp Top is a fairly short, but steep hike (rising 1,370 feet over 1.6 miles) where route 43 meets the Blue Ridge parkway that was once thought to be the tallest mountain in Virginia. For those not interested in the hike, but interested in the view, there's also a bus that can take you to the top while the weather holds. Peaks of Otter Lodge is at the base, where the club stopped for lunch at the end.

A boulder balanced on top of an outcropping on Buzzard's Roost. Looks like a giant-size cairn.

Another mountain (don't know the name).
