Virginia

On Monday we went for another drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway in a different directions. I could put lots of pictures that would not show just how beautiful it is. The Parkway is a two lane road with views on both sides. You drive for miles and never pass another car. If one is going to ever go on a road trip this would be one not to miss.
Our camp at Goose Point was great, with so little time to see things we could have just stayed at camp and enjoyed it and the weather. Maybe next time.
Tuesday came and time to pack up to head home. When we got into Ohio, they had rain for three days lots of flooding in the lakes and creeks. Hit a bad storm that I am not sure how Mike drove, I could not see a thing. Thank goodness it only lasted about a half hour but at the time seemed for ever. Somehow we lost two hubcaps off the silver slipper.
When we got to Salt Fork State Park we were not sure what it would be like because of all the rain. As it turned out the site we reserved was pretty wet and muddy. But the good news very few campers. As we looked around for a new site came upon one area with no campers. We took it. Felt like our on campground.
The weather cleared enough to take the dogs for a walk but not enough to see much. Had the weather been better we would have stayed another night. Had another bad storm.
We would come back to this park another time.
Even with rain, storms loss of hubcaps it was a great trip!
