Shenandoah Excursion

I wasn't very productive on Saturday, and I spent this morning taking care of chores. This afternoon I decided that I needed to get out of the hous. My lungs still aren't quite back to normal after the bronchitis, so I figured that a long bike ride probably wasn't a good idea. Instead, I drove out to Shenandoah National Park to meander down Skyline Drive. With a few isolated exceptions, the leaves haven't started turning their fall colors yet. This was not unexpected, because the weather has been unseasonably warm until recently. What was unexpected though, was watching a bear run across the road about fifty yards in front of my car. Shenandoah is home to a significant population of Black Bears, and it was fun to see one in the wild.
