6-5  Mim ran into a campground host,  Rich Hayman from the cape (Wellfleet to be exact) that said Billy Newcomb was his uncle- another small world connection. Stayed one night in Maryland--Catonctin Nat park --home of Camp David --nope he was not there but lots of security if he did .Moved on to The Skyline Drive in Virginia -Sheandoah Nat Park --it is beautiful up here lots of overlooks --and hiking trails the Appalacian Trail follow parrallel to the drive  took one for a five mile hike to Overlook water falls--now in Rattle snake country   So always looking down when hiking --we rather deal with the bears they are bigger but run when they see you--lots of those guys and deer crossing the parkway..Campgrounds are the best-- met lots of people .After 120 miles the drive ends  and the Blue Ridge Parkway picks up for the next several hundred miles thru Virginia and thru North Carolina to Tennesee.Right now 6-11 we are in Roanoke Virginia---moving south and warming up --storing the flannel sheets today.  We have been out in the boondocks so no cell phones or computer access so that is the reason for not having daily updates on the blog.
