Pocahontas Premieres: Zoso The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience with Hold The Line RVA
Sept. 28, 2024. 6:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
We have returning to close out our season, ZOSO The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience! It’s been over 28 years and over 4500 shows since ZOSO came together as a group in the mid-‘90s.
In the words of The L.A. Times, “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes.” The St. Petersburg Times noted that, in addition to their virtuosity and spot-on visual presentation,
ZOSO is also “the most exacting of all the Led Zeppelin tributes.” The Chicago Sun-Times put it even more succinctly: “[ZOSO is] the closest to the original of any Led Zeppelin tribute.” More info HERE.
https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/pocahontas-premieresWe will meet for a 4+ hour hike, then chill out by the lake, then groove to some 70's rock n' roll. Bring your kayak if hiking is not enough.

Just 20 miles from Richmond, Pocahontas offers boating, picnicking, camping, camping cabins, 90-plus miles of trails, and nature and history programs.
Unfortunately all camp sites are booked..
More details to follow.. - Little Bites of A.T. Hikes Part 23: Key Gap to Harpers Ferry(Day Hike, 10 miles)Harpers Ferry, Harpers Ferry, WV
We have already completed the 100 or so miles of the A.T. in Shenandoah National Park and are continuing both north and south but are just not up for overnight backpacking.
This is an out and back starting NOBO from Key Gap going to Harpers Ferry, and the pace will be closer to 2.5-3.0 mph as necessary (not a shuttle hike). Meeting at the trailhead does not work for this series. I will match the group’s pace to that of the slowest hiker. Take note that this is a slower pace than other hike series CVT does. 10 miles @ 2.5 mph ~4.0 hours of hike time.Decided to not resume NOBO from Blackburn Center since the road up is in poor condition and do not want to hassle with a shuttle service.
We will check out the sights in Harpers Ferry and grab lunch @
