18 September 2022 Shenandoah NP

 We visited our third NP for the year. Shenandoah NP is long but narrow, mostly along the ridge top of the main spine of the Shenandoah Mountains. As we left the RV Park, we took a side trip to see the Meem’s Bottom Covered Bridge and drove the Behemoth through its narrow confines. We drove to the middle of Shenandoah NP where US211 crosses the Skyline Drive and took Skyline Drive north to the north end of the park. We stopped at many of the overlooks and enjoyed the views of the Shenandoah Mountains. It was fairly humid, so we could not see really far due to the haze. Leslie’s toe is not healing as fast as she wants it too, so we stuck to an auto tour for today. Near the northern end of the park, we stopped at the visitor center to collect our passport stamp and purchase a mug, hat and postcards.  After exiting the park, we took US11 down through the Shenandoah Valley and enjoyed the beautiful Virginia countryside down to US211 before heading back to the Wanderer.
