Me and my sweet daughter! Our friend (above) was making us laugh.....

Crossed McAfee Knob on my section last March but the skies were overcast. Liked it so much that I returned over Easter weekend and got this classic picture.

Thanks Socks!
Thanks Jeff.... that pic is a little over 2 years old. I'm looking more my age as the years roll along!
Cookerhiker... that was a FUN time downtown Roanoke. So nice meeting you!! I remember meeting everyone you mentioned but it's taken me a while to match up faces to names. It's like -Hey, I met you in person before!!
I didn't do the hike but looks like you guys had a beautiful day!! Love! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great pictures. I'll be adding mine here over Memorial Day weekend! Section hiking Map 3 (Bobblet's Gap to Craig Creek).
Question: Are Dragon's Teeth and Tinker Cliffs both on or near the Trail? We are squeezing in 60 miles over 3 days, so we don't have time to linger, but I do want to see all the sights we can while we are there.
If you want to track me LIVE (May 22nd - 25th, 2015) go here:

The trail is on the cliffs at Tinker. If you look closely you can see a white blaze on one of the trees. In other places it's painted on the rocks leading you around on the edge of the cliffs. It also goes about 10 feet from the Dragon's Tooth rock, which you're free to climb up (I highly encourage it).

Just finished my section hike through Dragon's Tooth, McAfee's Knob and Tinker Cliffs. I had no idea that Dragon's Tooth was so technical. We had only an hour or so of light left and had to get down before trying to night hike in full packs. Overall that section is quite beautiful. Loved Tinker Cliffs. Wish I had had time to camp overnight up there. My only regret.
