From Loft Mountain camp site at 7:45 AM, Wednesday, July 15th, en route to Harrisonburg, Virginia. My destination: CrossRoads Heritage Center. I arrived at 9:15 and enjoyed the spectacular view while drinking a cup of green tea. They don't open until 10:00 and only Wednesday through Saturday. I was particularly interested in the project because I have Mennonite and Brethren ancestry--and some of my forefathers lived in the Shenandoah Valley.
I did not return to the Skyline Drive. Instead I took Interstate 81 to Staunton, and Interstate 64 to the Northern entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I entered the Parkway at 3:00 PM. Quite honestly, I was not feeling good (and cut my visit short at CrossRoads). Twenty miles on the Blue Ridge and I stopped to rest in the trailer. Sixty-two miles on the Blue Ridge and I stopped for the night at Otter Creek Campground. It was 5:30 PM and I had only driven 153 miles. I think "pain" was written all over my face because the Camp Host was very concerned about me, and she looked in on me several times (because I went right to bed).
