Dolly Sods, WV

Hello Again!
I'm sorry that it has been so long since I've posted anything! We just summited the Dolly Sods and I can't believe we made it. It was the most challenging thing I have ever accomplished in my life! We ended up hiking a total of 22 miles that day because there was no camping allowed on the summit. Our GPS map told us there was camping in 6 miles after the summit.... when we arrived there was a big sign "NO OVERNIGHT CAMPING!" so, we had a decision to make. Either hike on 10 more miles to Canaan Valley State Park Lodge or figure out another place to stay. We decided to hike the 10 miles to Canaan! We hiked until around 9:00 pm then we decided to ask someone for a ride due to it being dark and being totally exhausted! This very nice man gave us a ride the last 2 miles which we plan to hike tomorrow along with the 9 mile trail from Canaan Lodge to Black Water Falls Lodge where we are staying tonight. We had some new friends Dick & JoAnn Helmick take us from Canaan to Black Water falls this afternoon because our carts cannot go over the 9 mile trail. We will hike that tomorrow then get a ride back here to Black Water Falls, Lord willing:) Please continue to keep us in your prayers! We need it along our way! May God Bless you!
