October 19, 2015–Travel to Shenandoah National Park

After lots of hugs and saying our “see you in the spring”, we started our journey west and south.

In Delaware, we went directly west from the bay – the leaves are just changing here:

Past many farms:

Into Maryland:

More farms – love this barn:

Love the trees:

Past one of the Chesapeake Marinas:

Over the Bay Bridge (I wonder how deep it is here):

Cool looking bridge:

We traveled south on US-301 through lots of traffic and malls  - very busy since it is so close to Washington, DC.  The route took us over the Potomac River:

Right before we went over the bridge, we were stopped by the Maryland State Police.  He noticed that I was not wearing my seat belt.  He was very nice and left us with a warning.  (His hometown is near us.)  I will be wearing my seat belt from now on!

Into Virginia:

Where Andy just LOVED this attraction:

Harvest Time:

I love these roads:

Our first views of the Shenandoah Mountains:

At the top and heading into the park:

Skyline Drive:

Here we are:

 

Since we have no idea how long we are staying, we found a nice site in the first come, first served loop. We have always stayed in the I loop and now we are in the C loop.   I will post pictures tomorrow.

We have no phone or internet in the campground so I will be a little late in posting.  Until then, enjoy today.
