Hike to Mendota Fire Tower
Mendota Fire Tower on Clinch Mountain in Washington/Russell Counties in Southwest Virginia.
The U.S. Forest Service used to maintain a fire tower along Clinch Mountain, on a knob at a rock outcrop called Pinnacle, above the community of Mendota in far southwest Virginia. The spine of Clinch Mountain splits Washington County (to the east) and Scott and Russell Counties (to the west). Today the fire tower is no longer being used but it still stands on top of the mountain and is visible from miles and miles away. One can drive to the crest of the ridge via a rough gravel state road. A small parking area is available that can accommodate 2 or 3 cars. From the parking, its a short walk along the ridge to the tower. The trail is steep in places and some minor rock scrambling is even required. The rocky outcrops around the tower provide some magnificent nearly 360 degree views. The tower itself is not open. The lower stairs have been removed and upper levels are obviously rotted and not safe for climbing. Sadly, the tower base, support building, and the rocks themselves have been severely defaced by vandals. A sad reminder that trash and graffiti is all too common in this part of Virginia. One must try to focus on the awesome view and not the vandalism. Thanks for watching!

Mattaponi River, Bowling Green, VA - Paddling
August 30, 2016 - Mattaponi River. Rt 605 in Bowling Green, VA to VA 207. 6.7 Miles.
River was low, about 2.19 on the Bowling Green gauge ( but still navigable. I would estimate that 2.0 on this gauge is the minimum runnable level through this section, though trees will be a problem at any level.
Put In: Rt 605 just outside Bowling Green. N38.06083, W77.38443.
My boat: Pelican Trailblazer 1000, 10' long. Actually one of a matched pair belonging to my sons. This boat is the perfect size for them to maneuver, and the short length makes it really good to navigate between the trees. But the paddle is a little short for me, the boat rocks quite a bit with each paddle stroke, and doesn't glide well. It takes a lot of energy to keep it moving - but for the price, this is a great, versatile little boat!
Music: Flow, by me. Not really a fully developed tune, just something I've been messing around with - but it's still mine! Copyright 2016
