The fist day is an exploration of Radford University's campus with a focus on outdoor sculpture. This small university has a top-notch arborist. Every tree seems well-tended and nurtured to make a stunning campus even in winter. The display of outdoor sculpture is gratifying. Day 2: Mt Rogers is the tallest mountain in Virginia at 5,750 feet. In summer this is a well-traveled part of the Appalachian Trail. On a blustery March day, the trail was vacant. From the Grindstone camp trailhead, the trail is 7 miles to the summit over 2,000 vertical feet. Every 250 vertical feet the snow pack increased about 2 inches. At the summit the pack was easily 2 feet with drifts up to the waist. While hikers often bemoan the absent big-sky view from the summit, the mountain still invites with, "Come and you will be Satisfied."
