Blue Ridge, Shenandoah & Appomatix

8/17/2013

 
Our second vacation this summer was also spent with our good friends Gary & Gail Chittaro. We visited The Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville and visited the Biltmore House as well.  Next our trip took us north along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah NP.  While camping near Lynchburg, VA we also decided to get in a little cultural history and took a tour of Appomatix Court House where the treaty ending the Civil War was signed.

Please visit our photographs in the Photo Gallery.  We are always adding those we think you will enjoy.

The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway at the northern end.  The parkway is 469 beautiful miles long - without one stop sign.  I wish we could say we drove the whole thing but at 35-45 mph we would probably still be driving.  We did see many great vistas and waterfalls in the portion we did drive - probably 150 miles or so.  Much of the first 2 days were spend in the rain but it didn't dampen our spirits or keep us from making photographs.

Here is Terri standing by our mode of transportation.  Her sisters like to call it the 'Travel Castle'.  This truck, a Chevy 3500 HD Duramax Diesel is a great upgrade from our last one - a 2500 HD. At 9-11 mpg fuel stops are expensive.

Picture
This is Appomatix County Court House. Originally built in 1846 it was destroyed by fire in 1892.  This is a replica although many of the buildings such as the stores, jail, law office and residential houses are original.  An actor played the part of a Union soldier who was at the surrender April 9, 1865 and stay in character even during questioning after his performance. If you into visiting Civil War battlefields this is one you should not miss.

    What's happening in our world?

    We keep taking photographs in the hope that we will find that magical moment.  Please enjoy what we have found.
