Jones Gap - The Bratwurst Experience @ Shock Top Ridge

This rock faced view point is very similar in terrain and view to Drawbar but it's in a different part of the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. We started in Jones Gap State Park, spent time on John Sloan and Pinnacle Pass Trail to this!



The View is Worth the Climb! That is the basic mantra behind every weekend hiking excursion. If you want a little adventure It would be so much easier just to watch Nat Geo but a better idea is to get up and go; so we do.



There is something about gathering the wood, breaking and arranging into a campfire pyramid and coaxing the initial sparks into a roaring flame that soothes the primal instincts. And then there is the ice cold Shock Top beer, the piping hot Johnsonville Brats, set against the rush of the stream, the roar of the wind and the heat of the sun in our face.
You can't get all this with a Remote!
