Shenandoah National Park (9/24)

Today we are going to take the Shenandoah Skyline Drive through the park.  It is 105 miles through the whole park.  We don't plan on driving the whole thing just about a 1/3 of it.  The scenery is breathtaking.  There are over 500 miles of hiking trails, 105 miles of scenic roadway, and 75 overlooks.  It was nice to have the overlooks, it lets you see how high you are and how far you have come.  Waynesboro is so small from the lookouts.

The colors are really beautiful.  They haven't fully changed but enough to get a good feel for how beautiful they will be in a few weeks.  It is pretty cold out in the low 50's and very windy and cloudy.

We stopped at Loft Mountain gift shop and restaurant. We both had a hamburger and fries.  For a little snack bar it was really good.  I bought me a can of Virginia peanuts.  I don't know how they cook their peanuts, but they are not oily and are really good.
After lunch we head to the nearest exit and back towards Waynesboro.  We have to stop for groceries on the way to the park.  It was nice to get back to the fifth wheel, it was starting to get really cloudy and rain was on it's way and temps were dropping.
Sat back and relaxed and watched a movie and went to bed.  Another great day!!!!
