20.5-mile hike in WV

So happy to hike in the George Washington National Forest from Bucktail trail parking counterclockwise via Long Mt. Trail, Devil's Hole, Tibbet Knob, for 13 miles with 3600 feet elevation gain in 4.5 hours. But I took the Trout Pond Road bailout 7.5 miles walk after lunch break at Wolf Gap Recreational Area, to avoid thunderstorms and wet rocks the group took. I was soaked by the 1st thunderstorm even using an umbrella, but timely rushed back in a car to change to dry clothes while the 2nd thunderstorm hit. Really enjoyed the dry sunny hike during 7:30 am to 1 pm, after trapped in my house for two weeks since last hike.
