July 4, feeling adventurous... but poor.
So we pack and travel to the far corner of... the next state over- wild
and wonderful Virginia.
Where we just happen to run into Julia's brother Andrew and his main
squeeze Michelle.
After some independence day mayhem, we truck on across the mountains
to see if we can find some trouble. |
 |
|
|
|
| We head down the blue ridge parkway and
find this cool restored farm... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
...with wooden fences and talking chickens
(hey, I gotta try and keep this stuff exciting so I don't lose you). |
|
Then off to explore the mounts. |
 |
Humpback rocks... |
 |
| Where Scott tried to look like he was
doing something dangerous (he's about 2 ft off the ground here but dont'
tell him I told you), |
 |
 |
 |
...while in fact there was nothing
dangerous up on those rocks. |
 |
|
Next, stop, Crabtree falls, this incredible series of cascading
falls that seemed to never stop. |
 |
An awesome hike |
 |
| we highly recommend. |
 |
 |
 |
The view from the top. |
|
|
 |
The next day we hoofed to the top of the
Priest for more spectacular spectacles. |
 |
|
 |
Then on to some touristy tourism. To the
natural bridge area, where we saw the amazing "Foamhenge". |
 |
 |
Real or foam? Look closely. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
The natural bridge, one of the great
wonders of nature. And the restored Native American village, one of the
great wonders of... that area. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
And we toured the nearby caverns because
they were there. Did you know it's really dark deep underground? |
|
|
Then... (drum roll please)... to the... what to call it... sort of
drive through, feed the animals, petting zoo park kind of place? OK, it
seemed like a weird idea to us, but it was pretty cool. You basically
drive your car through this zoo place and feed wild animals out of a
bucket and hope they don't wreck your car or eat you. Wild. |

|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| And that's it. Hope you liked the tour! |
