I have talked about the beautiful scenery we have enjoyed in our drives while in Virginia. Before we headed to James Monroe’s home, we drove arounf the area near the campground. Here are some photos from our drive.
This is a farm across the road from the Campground. Note the tall grass ready for mowing after all the rain we have had for the past few weeks.
This is a large horse farm.
This is a view of the same farm from the opposite direction. The white building to the right is a huge barn. The farm’s mansion was just down the road. It looked like it had more rooms than all the combined rooms in the President’s homes we have visited. It was huge.
This is an overlook off nearby I-64. It is very near where the Blue Ridge Parkway ends and Skyline Drive begins.
When we saw this sign at the overlook, we thought about our friend Tony at the Barnyard RV Park who flew sport gliders when he lived in England.
This is another overlook a few miles further along I-64.
This overlook also had a memorial to workers from the Virginia Department of Transportation who were killed in accidents while working on Virginia Highways. We were saddened to see how many names were listed. It is a reminder to slow down in construction areas.
