Cassie and I hiked to the High Knob fire tower on the border of Virginia and West Virginia. We started from the Brandywine Recreation Area and from there its straight up the mountain. It was only a 6 mile hike but one of the hardest six miles I've ever done. On the way up it was straight up at a very steep angle with no switchbacks. I thought the way down would be easier but it was not. Going down was quicker but still challenging due to the lose rocks and steep grade. The reward at the top was worth the challenge though.
