Overlook from Skyline Drive of the Shenandoah Valley.With the rain yesterday, we decided to check into a motel early enough to go to the laundromat (See... we haven't been able to totally leave all responsibilities behind!) and get a haircut. There was a salon close to the motel that advertised $13 haircuts... I went for it and as the nice lady was cutting my hair, I asked what her favorite part of this profession was and she answered "Men's haircuts"; so my hair is very short!!!!
With clear skies this morning we set out for Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park. Took a few hikes to really enjoy the beautiful vistas. . Again... breathtaking views. Temperature today stayed at 42 degrees and cold wind but it just added to the beauty.
Views from a hike we took today. We apparently just missed an eagle soaring with some crows. We waited to see if he would return but it was about 39 degrees!
Spent three full days in DC and had a spectacular time. Even appealed to Senior Senator Arlin Specter's office regarding a "ticket" I received for entering the Pennsylvania Turnpike without a toll ticket. The problem was that no ticket came out of the kiosk and no one responded to the call button... Long story but the Turnpike Authority will be receiving a letter from Senator Specter's office. His representative told us that she did not want us to have such an impression of his state!!!
Brian decided to have a chat with a very wise man I don't know what they spoke about but hope some wisdom was shared.Tomorrow we set out on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Great Smokey Mountain National Park
