Trail Blog 7: Troutville to Lambert Meadow
This was a super nice hike for me: very cruisey with no steep ascents.
I found what looked to be a sinkhole forming between Daleville and Troutville and possibly learned something new about bears.
At the ridge I got to visit Hay Rock and get a nice view of a lake. I don’t know the name of the lake.

I was puzzled by the bridge over Tinker Creek. It seemed such a large complex bridge for being without a road.

Lamberts Meadow is a beautiful valley with many developed camp sites. The valley faces south to catch the sun. A creek runs through it. However, many sad trees are there, sick and dying.
I found myself wondering, as I often do when faced with these names, what the inhabitants of this land called it before Lambert drove them out.
At the end of the day I burned one to honor the passing of Ozzy Osbourne.
