American Locations 6: Finishing the Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia


We left Big Meadows Campground early in the morning. We drove the rest of the Skyline Drive, stopping at several overlooks. At first it was as foggy as usual.

Eventually, the fog began to lift.

I like this photo. You can see how homes have been carved right into the mountainside.

In this one you can see a small lake below.

Later in the day the fog moved back in.

The clouds had settled really low in this valley.


We drove down off Skyline Drive and out of Shenandoah NP into Wanyesboro, where we treated ourselves to lunch at McDonalds. We set up in a private campground with hook-ups and WiFi, so I got caught up with my emails and everything else.
