Our trip to the Front Royal campground was only 3-1/2 hours, so we arrived in the early afternoon and set up the RV. It was really HOT, so I decided to go for a swim in their Olympic sized pool, only to discover that it was closed on Monday and Tuesdays! How can a family oriented campground have the pool closed for 2 days during the hot summer? So, I decided to take a drive up the nearby Skyline Drive. This road is part of the Shenandoah National Park, and runs the ridge along the northern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It runs for 100 miles, with 75 pull outs to stop at and appreciate the views. Since it is on a narrow ridge, there are views on both sides of the road, with pullouts on either side, depending on the view. I decided to drive about 20 miles, and then turn around and come back. So I did the pullouts on the west side going south, and on the east side returning north. And what views they are!! Peter needed to stay at the RV working on his computer, so I went at a leisurely pace, and enjoyed the views.
