Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway

Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway are wonderful highways to travel. At every turn there is a new and beautiful vista to see. The weather did not always co-operate, but when it did, it was a joy to travel slow and enjoy the view.

I'm standing by a statue of a CCC worker. These men built the road.

It was a thrill to see animals along the road, especially when they came close. We saw many deer and a few bear, but the bears ran off when the car stopped.
The highways ran through Shenandoah National Park. It provided us with thrilling landscapes, animal sightings, lovely campgrounds and memorable hiking trails.
