Shenandoah Valley VA 9/3-9/7/2010


Shenandoah Park is comprised of the Blue Ridge Mts. which cover most of Virginia on the eastern edge of the Appellation range which stretches from Maine to Georgia. We marveled at 2240 ft being the highest point in Virginia, actually it's the highest point of our trip since leaving WY!













We are atop the Skyline Ridge Hiway looking into the Shenandoah Valley where Tinker is parked somewhere among the trees. The Park runs 105 miles between Front Royal and Waynesbourough and is forested with hardwoods of 15 varieties of oak, maple, ash, elm and poplar. There are frequent turnouts to enjoy the beautiful views similar to this one. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs 400 miles to the Great Smokies Nat'l Park.









We're staying at the Luray RV Park in Luray, VA looking west from camp to capture this hole in the clouds just before sunset which made the glass of wine even more enjoyable! BTW: this park is spectacular. Their wi-fi, cable, amenities and owners were a delight. It's located at the top of a hill with wonderful views of farms and patures full of cows and one very happy donkey. It was very pastoral and relaxing. We would highly recommend a stay here to our RV buds............................and the journey continues
