MO: Trout Run Valley (~24 miles)

Update: I am converting this to a long day hike because I don't want to get out all my backpacking gear for just one night! We will start at the Bucktail trailhead at 7 am. We'll cut off the Halfmoon Mountain out & back (unless anyone wants to do extra) for a total of 24.85 miles on Saturday.

I'd like to do a little warmup for Massanutten but don't want to be out the whole weekend, so I'm reposting this trip Veronica did last spring - Trout Run Valley but from a different entry point than we normally do. Coming in from Bucktail parking Friday night and camping near the summit of Halfmoon Mountain. Splits are 7/20. I'm setting it at five people for now because that's all I can drive and I don't expect tons of interest, but we'll see...
