March 18 (Sunday) Virginia Blue Ridge Rails to Trail - Nelson County (C/4)
Ted McGarry (218-1238) This is my third ODATC hike on this rails-to-trail about 2 hours west of Richmond. The former railroad bed has minimal elevation change and the scenic Piney and Tye River valley views are best before foliage appears. This is an out and back hike for about 9 miles or a minimum of 4 hours. Bring water and lunch for the trail. A portapotty is available at the trailhead. Carpool from I-64 Rockville Park and Ride (Exit 173) or Route 60 directions from Chesterfield are available by email. You must phone me not earlier than March 9 but before Friday March 16 at 9:00 pm to go on this trip. There’s an early dinner option at Lovingston Café or downtown Charlottesville. You must be a current club member to participate. www.traillink.com/ViewTrail.aspx?AcctID=6017586.
