We're getting ready to leave Luray, VA after a wonderful visit. What a beautiful area...farmland, mountains, wildlife, nice people....highly recommend visiting the area. Today we went on Skyline Drive, a part of the Blue Ridge Parkway..Stunning views in all directions. We've posted a few in the topmost, self playing slide show rather than just in the blog post.
The temperatures in the mountains today were fantastic today, 72 for most of the day and "heating up" to about 80 late in the day. Contrast this with our home temperature of nearly 100
We've also added a new feature to see if it works and is interesting....the fourth item from the top says "click below to see our track of Skyline Drive. There are many options map, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain.. If you click on the link that says "Trackid#D133 etc" at the top of the map it will bring you to a link showing lots of info about the track such as elevation, speed, etc
A cool feature is viewing it in Google earth as well. Play around with it and give us some feedback
We've gone a little camera crazy and both Paul and Maryellen have digital SLR's and we are snap happy...so we are taking lots of pix.
We'll be putting up things nearly every day, but probably won't bug you with emails more than twice a week.
Tomorrow we are heading to Gettysburg, PA, where Maryellen is dragging me to the historical battle locations (she's going to educate me one way or another). From there, we don't yet have plans...but are steadily making our path northward, in no particular hurry.
Thanks for the interest and for all the great feedback.
