Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Buggy Top Trail 6.1.2021

Tuesday's Buggy Top Trail hike was  "Goldie Locks" hike.  The weather and trail conditions were just right.  It had been almost 2 years to the day since I hiked this trail.  Ten hikers participated in the hike.  We began our hike approximately at 9:30 A with a 1/2 mile 2250 foot ascent and then a 1 1/2 mile 664 ft descent to Lost Cove and Peter Caves.  A couple of our hikers descended into the opening of Peter Cove and explored a short distance in.  We then proceeded to Lost Cove Cave and explored the entrance to the cave.  The short trek down to the cave was steep but like I mentioned, the trail was in good condition and offered no problems during the descent.  We didn't trverse the cave from one end to the other though that is possible to do.,  The conditions at the cave were as if someone had the AC on.  After about a 20 minute exploration of the cave entrance, we began our exit trek.  Due to the ascent, this part of the hike was not quite as pleasant as our inward trek.  The heat and humitity seemed to be a litle higher on the way out.  We finished around 2;30.  The collective consensus was that it was a great ike.
