Ravens Roost
Last Saturday brought spectacularly clear weather - perfect for a drive in the mountains. We were hoping to see just a little fall color on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but no luck. Still, the view doesn't get much better than this.
These photos were all taken at Raven's Roost Overlook at milepost 10.7 - the location of our favorite picnic table. The procedure is as follows:
- Stop at the Blue Ridge Pig in Nellysford,
- Get a pork BBQ sandwich,
- Walk next door to the gas station for Route 11 potato chips,
- Drive up the mountain, and
- Drink in the view while eating the sandwich and potato chips.
Repeat when necessary.
P.S. The spouse couldn't find the Rt. 11 potato chips at the gas station last time, but they were there a couple of months ago, and have been there every other time we've stopped. I think he didn't look in the right place.
P.P.S. After seeing the bird's eye view of the mountains, how about a bug's eye view of the parking lot?
