After our weekend at Washington. Washington, Virginia. We took the long way home and drove 32 miles of the 105 mile-long Skyline Drive. Shenandoah National Park was dedicated in 1936 and was a post-depression stimulus package. During the foliage season the 35 mph speed limit is unnecessary, but today it was cruise control @ 35 for the trip. Some motorcycle boys chose to ignore that, but they are self-corrected -- two killed in the last week. One was bear related and one was Chevy related.
Many scenic overlooks that will call us back in a few weeks, along with thousands of other vehicles.
Some shots along the way.
