The first destination of our trip was a visit to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. We stayed on the west side of the park near Harrisonburg. The area around here was very scenic farmland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were pleasantly surprised that this weekend was ‘KOA member appreciation weekend’ and we got one night’s stay for free! As usual, the campground was very nice and we had a spot at the very back overlooking a forested area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday we got up early and headed for the park. Our goal was to drive the length of the park on Skyline Drive. This road runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park and is the only public road through the Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was foggy and cloudy but nice and cool. We managed to get some nice views and had lunch at one of the picnic areas. The road was not busy at all but I was surprised to see almost all hiking trailheads nearly full of cars. I yearned to go on a hike but my knee isn’t quite up for it yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ended up driving nearly 200 miles and got back to camp in time for our dinner! A great day at Shenandoah National Park. We start the second leg of our northbound journey with 4 stops between here and Maine and less than 200 miles a day driving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
