Travel day. Track is a little wonky because we were in a gorge and under an arch high enough to fit the Statue of Liberty; we stayed on the N side of the creek. I edited the climb (it was 236m before) to match Glens watch's number.
We stopped for a break and a hike at Natural Bridge SP in VA. We bought tickets, climbed down a staircase to the creek level (Cedar Creek--there a lot of cedars in the gorge) where the temperature dropped at least 10 degrees from 56F at the parking lot, looked at the arch, the Lost River (a stream that comes out of a cave in the side of the hill), Lace Falls, and the saltpeter cave which was mined during the wars in the 1800s for making gunpowder; and back up to the visitors center.
After seeing Lace Falls and turning around we stopped to talk to a couple whom we'd passed, on the way up to the falls, at the cave; turns out they live a couple towns away from us in Pennsylvania!
On the drive up to the park from I-81, I saw some unique sculptured heads along a fence at this business; they're visible in street view if you look at this location on a map. Very unusual!
