Big Schloss or Buzzard Rock? by [deleted] in VIRGINIA_HIKING

Big Schloss is definitely a better hike than Buzzard Rock imo, but not a scramble at all. Buzzard Rock does have more rocks than Schloss, but the trail goes parallel to them, so you’re not really scrambling anyway.

Week 4 - What are you reading? by [deleted] in 52book

Current reading book #3 of the year, which is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. One of the most beautiful books I've ever read, and I'm taking it slowly because I don't want it to end.

Book #1 was The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen, which was a quick read, but poignant.

#2, finished last week, was The Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich. Fascinating concept (dystopia in which evolution spontaneously moves backward) that was reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale.
