For fans of Bill Bryson this was our 'Walk in the Woods'. The trail is well marked and easy to access at various points along the Skyline Drive. We did a couple of circular routes yesterday and met others doing the same. The fact we are English intrigues the locals who are puzzled at us being in the area. Although lots of civil war activity was centred here and Monticello, Jefferson's home is nearby, it is not really on the tourist route which is great for us.
For those with good memories 'The Waltons' was filmed around here too. On the road we came back on yesterday you can see plenty of isolated homes with cattle and horses in good numbers.
The 'Little House' is in the garden to a family home. There are four dogs, a cat, a horse and five donkeys so it stands in a substantial plot. ( Sarah and Michael would love the dogs!) Owners provide breakfast provisions and we have microwaved a couple of evening meals as we feel so at home in the evenings just being out on the porch. It's also great to have the windows open rather than air con at night.
Thanks for the messages.
Love Jane and Peter x
