July 5, 1983: The next mountain was Bearfence. The Appalachian Trail skirted its rough, rocky crest, but a loop trail ran over it.

The craggy summit was becoming overgrown with small, gnarled trees, but several projecting rock outcrops nearby looked southward along the Blue Ridge and westward over a broad chunk of the Shenandoah Valley.

The loop continued along the crest, winding around and over the massive, protruding rock fins of a ridge which resembled the back of a stegosaurus.

Several spikes rose completely above the treetops, including a northern summit whose 4-star 360-degree panorama which supplanted Blackrock as the finest viewpoint I had encountered in Shenandoah.
