Father's Day! I sleep in. We're in the Shenandoah Valley, beautiful with greenery and the biggest catalpa leaves I've ever seen.
For breakfast we use our leftover BBQ pork, ham and corn muffins from last night's Cracker Barrel dinner. Bob makes eggs to go with it. The Cookerman scores again!
We visit the Meens Bottom Covered Bridge in Mt. Jackson, VA on the VA Byway. Take some beautiful scenic photos.
Next we come to the Shenandoah Hotel, home of the Shenandoah Caverns and American Parade Celebrations. The caverns are amazing. Our guide is only 20 but very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area. I take photos of the stalagtite and stalagmite formations. My favorite is the one called "Bacon".
Near the caverns is a display of antique floats from Rose Bowl and Presidential parades. I try to photograph the most colorful and unusual. There are antique cars in the Yellow Barn.
We pass fields and fields of oats and soybeans. The straw-colored oats look beautiful next to the muted green of the soybeans. When we return to our camp, we discover our hot water heater doesn't work.
The duck family comes to visit. We feed them grapenuts again.
As dark approaches, Jasper comes to see us. We have seen him riding around the camp on his bike. He is a "Special Needs Kid" (his words) who has Asperger's . He's probably about 20. He is very interested in the hats I make and wants to see them all.
Once he sees them, he is full of marketing ideas. We exchange business cards. He is sure he can help me share in his millions. The session ends when his Mom calls him home on his cell phone. Whew!
