Stopped in Carlisle, Pa., Sunday to visit my old stomping ground (only to find they no longer print the newspaper in the office I worked in) before continuing south.
We had a walking tour around historic Harper's Ferry and visited the Appalachian Trail headquarters on Monday, and then camped at a magnificent state park.
On Tuesday we drove the length of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia on the Skyline Drive. At a visitors center we watched an interesting video about the incredible work the Civilian Conservation Corps did in building a "western park" in the east, and enjoyed a ranger program before spending the night at a campground outside of Charlottesville.
Today we've signed up for a tour of Monticello. From there we'll explore Williamsburg and eventually stop by to visit with an old friend who now works in town. Some of you will be able to guess who I mean. ;-)
We'll spend most of Thursday in Williamsburg before heading to North Carolina's Outer Banks, where
we've booked three nights in what looks to be a very nice inn. Then it's on to Charleston and Savannah.
Here are some pictures from the trip so far.
