Since we finally have decent internet, I 'm  going to have to go backward a few days to bring you up to date. On Saturday, Denny and I climbed a mountain! Maybe not a huge mountain but the trail was marked strenuous and we did hike almost 10 miles.
We were pretty tired when we finished so we broke the law and had a beer inside our RV. It is illegal to even have alcohol in NC parks!

See the people sitting at the top? This was taken on the way back down

On the way back down

 Note the change of clothes. As the day heated up, and I heated up, I was able to make an on-the-go change of shirts, with no wardrobe malfunction!

Lots, and lots, and lots of steps. But, it would have been impossible without them.

We think this was a tour in an old police car.

On Sunday morning, we had intended to drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway to Shenandoah National Park at the top end, but it was foggy and rainy. So, we went to visit Andy and Opie in nearby Mayberry (Mt Airy, NC).

Apparently Andy was taller than Denny :)

We reversed plans and decided to drive to the top of the Parkway via the adjacent freeway and come back down it when the weather clears. On the way, we stopped at Natural Bridge in Virginia.

The literature says that this is higher than Niagara Falls. Denny and I find that hard to believe.

There was a waterfall at the end of a mile long tail along the river. Apparently, this small river is what formed the Natural Bridge

Wow, 2 forefathers made this landmark possible!

We spent the night in a campsite near a freeway which kept me awake most of the night. We will move to somewhere quieter tonight and hope that we can enter a fog-less Blue Ridge Parkway tomorrow.
