Touring the Shenandoah Valley

Today we became tourists, driving around the Shenandoah Valley.  We stopped at Luray Caverns, which were quite spectacular.  Here are two photos, the first of an underground pond in the "Dreamland" section of the cave, and the second the "Wishing Well."

After the Cavern, we stopped in the Luray Valley Museum across the street, which was really quite a good history museum for this area, and, as it represents the history of Virginia and the colonies, those larger regions as well.

We finished with a trip along Skyline Drive.  The views were grand, but many similar to one another, and with the hazy weather not spectacular.  The only notable event was that a Park Ranger stopped to see if we were in trouble when we pulled the truck over to unscrew our huge rabbit ear antennae due to a 12'8" clearance limitation in the tunnel.  He was a little bewildered why we took the trouble, since in fact it turned out the tunnel had plenty of clearance.  Oh well.

This was our last day of the trip, but for our drive back to our home Oak Grove campground in Hatfield.
