Day four, we wake up this morning in a cheap hotel,,head out to a little mom and pop diner for breakfast. We had dinner here last night when we arrived in Front Royal, good food and cheap prices,,our favorite combination. Pack up and head out,,Today we start out on Skyline drive, a two lane motorway that will end at the north entrance of the Blue Ridge parkway. It is a cool, damp, and foggy morning on the Skyline. We struggle to see , visibility is less than a quarter of a mile. We pull into a rest area to warm up and take a break, talk to some other riders and then back on the road. You really have to watch out for the wildlife in the area, several deer run near the roadway, and some cross right in front of us.
We exit Skyline drive on the south end, wander into town for lunch. After finding a small BBQ joint that has just opened a week or so ago, we decide on that is the place. It was a great choice, with our bellies and fuel tanks full, we enter the Blue Ridge parkway and head south. The scenery is beautiful, without a doubt some of the best riding we have done.
With late day coming on fast we decide to look for a place to make camp. Otter Creek campground. " the place where we learn the meaning of the term back country camping" No shower house, and only cold water to wash with in the sink at the restroom...
