That's a very nice photo, Mark. It brings back some memories.
It's been awhile (decades) so I'm sure things have changed a bit, but Skyline Drive used to be one of my all time favorite scenic roads. And part of the charm were those little hamlets that were tucked away in the valleys just off the main road.

Thanks Ron. We have lived on the "sunrise side of the Blue Ridge" for over 25 years now. Some areas have seen lots of development and change and others appear untouched. I'll take this as an opportunity to post another one from the same trip. This one is looking west over the Shenandoah valley. The town of Luray is to the right with lots of farms throughout the valley.
