Into Virginia

After a couple of quiet days at Raystown Lake and the Corps of Engineers campground there, we picked up our mail in Altoona PA Friday morning and left the area.  A hard freeze was forecast and the South was calling.  We took I-70 across one of the narrowest parts of Maryland and West Virginia and into Virginia.  Then I-81 brought us into the Shenendoah valley with the Blue Ridge off to one side.  We stopped for a long weekend (3nights) in western Virginia, south of Staunton.

Saturday we wandered around an art fair on the streets of Waynesboro and looked for some geocaches near Staunton. 

We had lunch at an old-style drive-in recommended by a website called Roadfood, but thought Gordy’s in Cloquet was better.

 We had pleasant fall weather on Sunday.  After a local church service in Mint Springs, we took a motorcycle ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

 We were back in time to fix a big Sunday dinner, while we watched our Vikings lose to the local Redskins.  This was the first full football game we’ve watched this season.  Did we jinx the game??
