These pics would go really well with a soundtrack... I'm thinking something like: "Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like the breeze..."









So the first day on skyline drive looked like this:

Scenic overlook? Not so much.



But when we got to the top of Stony Man mountain, we got above the fog, and it looked like this:

The next day started out looking cloudy, but we took a chance and went back with Mom-mom and Pap-pap. We climbed Bear Fence Mountain, and scrambled over boulders that as the guide book accurately described, "seemed like they would never end". Jer waited till after the hike to read the section about how this hike is not recommeneded for young children that need to be carried. I'm glad he did, because we made it just fine.
