We left Skyline Drive on friday am and headed for a free nite(courtesy parking /airstream members only) at Paul Waddell's (Virginia, Paul, and Mary Kim) home. We got settled in and Carol made supper of Spagetti/meatballs and salad. Just relaxing and shootin' the breeze. Paul has a balloon trip on sat am ...I am getting up!!
One of Paul's Airstreams....

Paul didn't fly today because of high winds..but Bob did take off..we watch them lift off..


It is amazing what you see roaming the highways at 7am in Virginia....They don't bite? After returning home at Waddells, we packed up and left for Penna. arriving home at 4 pm..What a Week!!! 1,200 miles and beautiful leaves everywhere.... Now to practice my Banjo (hee..hee..)See you later...



Here are leaving the final end of Skyline drive.
One last peek at the leaves and valley.

I love Tunnels....creepy!!


Say good-bye to the coyote!!



Just a beautiful drive..........
Each tree has it's own personality!!!

They make a fine couple..


Deer everywhere at dusk and dawn Too!!!



Cabins at Skyland on Skyline Drive
Great View!!!

The hemlocks are just bare everywhere!!


Just some puddles in the rocks.



The sunset sky over Skyline Drive.
I love plain dead trees..they have cool branches???

Just the right framework to a beautiful skyline and valley.


Even rocks frame the valley.

Here it is wed,Oct 27, We arrived at Skyline Drive,Va. The leaves are in full color and it is beautiful all along the drive. We decided to stay on the drive for 3 days and camp at Big Meadows and drive from there for one day excursions.
The rocks are a great back drop for the mountains.

Here is the turn off for the camp. we are in site 104 for 2 nights. Boon docking only..which means ..no electric..No water..No Sewer. But I have a tank full of water and an empty sewer tank and I also have a generator for recharging the batteries. We have a nice site along the road and can see everyone coming and leaving. I run the generator about 2 hours a day to recharge..no running after 9pm. But thats OK, our batteries carry us thru till morning. Carol and I play 500 Rummy each night till 9/10 pm. I won 5 out of 6 games(hee hee). Carol makes a big breakfast in the morning..then off to tour the drive. We see deer along the way too. We saw a coyote when we were leaving friday am. I also saw a 9 point buck..wow he was a big one!!


Look at this view...forever and ever!!
