5-26-07 - Saturday - 67323 – 153 – Shenandoah KOA, VA – Mostly sunny - low +64 - high +97
Saw: 1 squirrel, 1 rodent (mouse-type) and four deer
We left the KOA park at 0900, and started through the park by 1000, trying to have as much time in the Shenandoah National Park/Skyline Drive as possible. The maximum speed limit on the Drive was 35 mph, with many 25 or 30 mph limits along the way. The sky was very hazy so we didn't get as many scenic shots of the surrounding hills as we wanted. We only saw a squirrel, a rodent and four deer while we were in the park. There were also many bicyclists that we had to go around and there are no bike paths in the park, just a narrow two lane road. We were starting to run late so we left Skyline Drive at Route 211, about 30 miles from the north end of the park.
We arrived at Uncle John (my younger brother) and Diane's (his wife) home in Chantilly, VA, about 1600 and they were preparing for a cookout. They ended up with 19 people at their party and we enjoyed lots of good food and conversation.
