The last time I was at Spy Rock, a beautiful overlook just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, it was early May and I was 800+ miles into my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. It was so wonderful to return with my boyfriend, Thomas, and capture the sunset. I was a bit nostalgic remembering that early May day, it was still chilly and there were no leaves on the trees at the campsite. I remembered watching the sunset and a huge rainstorm heading toward us. Of course our tentpole broke that night and the pole correcter didn't work. The next day we hiked 20 or so miles to Reids Gap and I met up with Thomas. Definitely one of the more spectacular days on my AT journey and even greater to revisit and take photos with a proper camera this time!
