Day 246
​Big Meadows VA- Mathews Arm VA

Picture
Time to hit the bricks and move on down the road. We've only got 35 miles to go and campers can't check in until after 12 pm (you can show up early they just get a little pissy sometimes). Being in no rush we pack up the dog and head a couple of miles down Skyline Drive to the nearest overlook that has a cell signal. It is here that we can check for texts and grab a few news headlines. This is the view from the ridge line in Shenandoah. Another day in the clouds is upon us. This should be a fun drive to the next place.

Clouds come and go for the hour journey through the blue ridge mountains. There is no shoulder and plenty of twist and turns. Penny drives easy in the hills without having to tow the 4,000 pound jeep anchor behind her. One area of concern is the tunnel that is coming up. We checked the signs and it said it would clearance 12'8". Penny is 11'10" but the tunnel could be that tall in the center or on the sides. We have seen both on our trips across America. I pull over and strap the GoPro to the side of the RV. A separate  video of the exhaust bouncing off the tunnel walls tickles my gear-head inner self. I'll edit that and post it in the near future on my YouTube channel.  A few more miles and we pull into Mathews Arm campground. This place is a ghost town compared to Big Meadows.

Our phones light up with updates as we both gaze in wonder. Two handheld computers in our posession have contacted space and are receiving information on things happening around the world. The power to answer any question at any time is within our grasp. There goes the rest of the day. Katie and I set up the house and both agree to stay put, grab a chair, and marvel at the technology before us. It's been almost a week since we have been able to sit down and stroll the interweb. Life is good.
