August 1997
Hiking the Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a bucket list item for outdoorsmen. Since it is well over 2000 miles long, most hike it in sections. I am ready to start, so an old college roommate, his young son, and I drive to one of the more accessible locations in southwest Virginia. We hike a section of the trail in the Mt Rogers National Recreation Area. Mt. Rogers is the highest point in Virginia. The trail is beautiful but well traveled.
Surprisingly, we ran into some wild ponies on the trail. About a hundred have run free on the slopes of this mountain for decades. They are Ponies, not horses, because they are less than five feet tall at the withers (shoulders).
