Mary – Sounds like a great escape from DC living. Like you, I require an indoor bathroom. Not a great camper:) – Paula

My daughter spent the summer working for the Park Service at Shenandoah National Park. She saw more bears there than she ever saw at home in Alaska.

She loved the Blue Ridge Mountains and the countryside. From your photos I can see why.

Mary- your pictures of the Blue Ridge Mountains are positively breathtaking– I especially love the first one! It looks like fall in the DC area is a sight to behold.

Chad: you are at the other end of the Blue Ridge- and get to see the Smokey Mountains- which just may beat the Blue Ridge- so hard to decide! Thanks for stopping by.

Hilary: I love making the escape to Skyline. It’s a great treat.

Terry: I don’t want the black bears to think of me as food! The wild life in this park is so used to people- they will come right up to your car. When you’re in a car- you can roll up the window- on a motorcycle- not so much!

Bob- I64 to I81 is the best way to Gettysburg. Next trip – you can pick up the end of skyline from I64. You can jump off half way thru and pick up I81 or Rt 17 to 81. It’s worth the detour!

Mary,

I really love those Blue Ridge Mountains! Your pictures from your trip are amazing. I didn’t realize that they were such a short drive from the Washington D.C. area. I am sure that when I say that you would agree, that the Blue Ridge Mountains are some of the prettiest hills in the world! Thanks for sharing your time there. I love them so much I think I will just move there. Oh wait, I have always lived there!

Your blog theme is all about being on the move, travelling, you sound like a very active kind of person. Good to see you make time for touring and getting into nature being a busy Arlington Virgina Real Estate Expert. Cheers!

Hi Mary,

Skyline Drive and the blue mountains sounds like a wonderful escape from DC. We traveled from Raleigh to Gettysburg a few months ago and took 64 out of Richmond over to 81 to avoid the DC traffic. Boy were we glad we did that! The drive by Shenandoah National Park was awesome!

Love the pictures… maybe you’ll get brave and snap a few of the black bear next time
