Lewis Mountain Campground and Peak - Shenandoah National Park - Appalachian Trail

This was an easy hike to pick up some fragments of the AT between Bearfence Hut and Pocosin Cabin. I've now hiked a continuous path on the AT from the Mason Dixon Line at the Pennsylvania border to the HighTop Hut in the middle of Shenandoah National Park....twice because I hike as in-and-outs. That makes 321 miles. :)

My new trail name is now "Alpha Gal"!
I’d like to make a public service announcement to bring awareness to the tick borne illness called “Alpha Gal”.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_allergy
This is a pretty serious allergy caused by the bite of the Lone Star Tick. Sometimes called Mammalian Meat Allergy (MMA), it has no cure.
This tick is present across the South and has spread to the Northeast. It is present in Shenandoah National Park and I was bitten by one (I removed it) and was later diagnosed with the allergy. In a nutshell, you become seriously allergic to red meat and dairy (anything that came from something with hair)! Beware of ticks, especially the white spotted ones, I never thought it would happen to me!
