blogging from the Blue Ridge Mts.

That's right! The women and I have packed up and gone to Virginia. We're currently camping off of Skyland Drive up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's about 3800 feet above sea level? It is absolutely beautiful and the views off of Skyland Drive are awesome. You can look down onto the Shannadoah Valley and see for miles. Well, that is if the fog/clouds are not in the way or if it isn't raining.

Thankfully we missed the torrential downpour in Washington DC that managed to flood streets and sweep cars off the road. But we still had to setup our tents in the rain!! There not much worse about camping than starting out w/ your stuff already wet.

Deer!!!! OMG, the deer just stroll past the campsite and are not afraid. We saw lots of deer the first two days, just about 30 to 40 feet away. Couple of the young male deers had their antlers covered with fuzz and we saw a mother deer with two fawns following close behind. The kids just loved seeing the deer up close.

More stories to come.
