Virginia, South to North to South

This entry was posted on May 27, 2006 and is filed under uncategorized.

Coming into Virginia, I saw what looked like a more comfortable ride.  I asked Herman Munster if he wanted to trade, but no go.




Took all backroads NorthWest to Charlottesville, VA, then headed up to Waynsboro, to catch the Skyline Drive, which traverses the Shenandoah National Park.  More great twisty roads and views.  Rode on to Front Royal, VA, the end of the Skyline Drive.  Then it was down to Richmond, VA to spend a few days with family.  My great aunt and her "kids" all live in the area.  It was very nice to see them after many years.  I was well received on such short notice, and even better treated.  Riding is great, but a few days rest and homelife are a very welcome treat.  Special thanks for the homey feeling to Muti, Ferd and Lola.  Memorial Day Cookout at Steve's was first rate as well.  Thanks to all!  (Mental note: More people pictures!!!  Aaargh!!!)



Some of the wildlife that's nice to see on the side of the road, but not on it!




Other wildlife on the road.


Total concentration (mainly on not dropping the camera!).

  Hi Guido, Remember me, your cousin? I wish I could have seen you when you were visiting my mom and Lola and Ferd. Everyone said it was so great to see you I want to see some pictures of YOU. Wishing you many blessings in your travels. Next time you're in VA, come and see us! Send me an e-mail sometime. God Bless, Love Peewee
