| "Please take me with you." |
As we started to pull out of the
campsite this morning, we noticed that we had a passenger. A small
frog was clinging to the windshield as it was trying to hitch a ride.
After gently taking our little hitchhiker off, we took the scenic
route; The Blue Ridge Parkway.
Although it stretches over 400 miles
across the highest Appalachian peaks, we chose to drive a mere 90
miles on it. The scenery on this narrow, hilly, winding road is
spectacular and we stopped at several look offs to stare in awe at
the mountains and valleys and to take a few pictures. The sun was
bright, the air cool and we were one of the few vehicles on the
Parkway.
We left the Parkway at Roanoke and
joined the traffic on the Interstate. There are a lot of hills to
climb in Virginia and so it was a challenge to keep up with the
speeding crowds. We had a mission today, to pick up a new fridge for
the Westy and since we promised to be there by 4, we had to keep any
stops very brief. We picked up the fridge at 4:01 and headed for
Gettysburg. We are staying just outside of the town for the night and
will explore some of this very historic area tomorrow.
