    Default Back From Fall Vacation

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Gail and I spent the end of September into the first few days of October on vacation. We spent one afternoon and one morning in Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and then several days in skyline Drive in Shenandoah NP. We had a great time despite the iffy weather. I m posting an image made after we hiked to the top of Hawks Bill Mountain. As you can see it was overcast and it was very windy. The days we were hiking we did a morning hike of about 4 miles and an afternoon 4 miler as well. We either went up 800 feet then back down or the reverse depending on whether our destination was a waterfall or mountain peak. Of course we carried our camera stuff.

    Skyline drive was a good time for us. The last time we were there was in 1969 - the year after we were married. We didn't have $ for a honeymoon so a vacation one year later served the purpose. 40 year later! While the park mostly looks the same we have certainly changed.

    Thanks for looking and reading my rambling!

    Thanks for all the comments. It was interesting that we looked at some pictures we made in 1969 - a year after we were maried. I was still in serving in the Navy as a Corpsman, soon to go to Nam, when we took the original trip. We had to keep reminding ourselves that the young children we saw in the pictures were us!! Time goes by much too fast!!! ;)
