A friend and I drove up to see the newly opened Blue Ridge train tunnel. It was more exercise that I expected, and about exactly what I needed. We walked from the eastern trailhead through the tunnel to western trailhead. It was 2.5 miles each way, so a total of 5 miles. The thing that added extra exercise was that it got pretty hilly on the western end of the trail. The tunnel itself was about 8/10 mile long I believe.

Afterwards, we drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Humpback Rocks picnic area and had our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and the came home. Very pleasant trip!
