Larry Kidd (804-784-3617 or lckiddjr@comcast.net).  This is an approximately 8.1 mile lollipop hike leaving from the White Oak Parking Area at Mile 42.5 heading south on the AT for 2.6 miles where it intersects with the Hawksbill Gap parking lot and the start of the 2.9-mile circuit hike around and over Hawksbill Mountain as described in PATC’s Circuit Hikes in Shenandoah National Park (750 feet of elevation change). This circuit portion of the trail is made up by the AT, Salamander Trail, and Lower Hawksbill Trail.  We will then return north 2.6 miles on the AT back to the starting White Oak Parking Area.  This is a moderate hike with beautiful views much of the way, and a spectacular view at the top of the highest mountain in the SNP (4051 feet).  Bring a lunch which we can hopefully eat on the top of the mountain.  Bring National Park pass if available. Call/Contact for meeting time and locations.
