We hadn't been on the Greenbrier River Trail since the major flood last June. Today we walked the southern end to the where the trail is still impassible -- 8 miles round-trip. The damage to the trail will probably take a few years to repair. The power of water is impressive.
 |
| A major stream wash-out is at the beginning of the trail. Fortunately, it is very easily bypassed along a road. |
 |
| About 3 miles up the trail, is a small landslide. It's been cleared, but the wreckage is sobering. |
 |
| Mostly the trail was in good shape. |
 |
| About milepost 6.8 (the trail starts at milepost 3), another small, but deep, wash-out makes the trail impassible. The next 6 miles are closed for the foreseeable future. |
 |
| As we walked, several of these military C-130 Hercules cargo planes were going west-to-east overhead. |
