Into the Forrest
The George Washington National Forrest. After visiting Swannanoa and the Natural Chimneys we were rather aimlessly enjoying some very pretty back roads and talking about going on to a town called Monterey, not too far away. And then we made that fateful turn. The one that took us into the George Washington National Forrest. The totals acres for the combined George Washington and Jefferson National Forests are 1,646,328 acres in Virginia; 123,384 acres in West Virginia; and 961 acres in Kentucky. So a very large, big deal really. At first the roads were great, paved, two lanes and we were enjoying ourselves immensely with all the fall foliage and even took the time to visit two nice little lakes, one of which had Great bathroom facilities (an important point for two traveling ladies! LOL). There weren't any other people at these lakes, it being off season and all. Or on the road for that matter and before to long that road turned into what you see here. One lane. Gravel. And because of the rains some of it was quite muddy. But we were in The Jeep so what could that matter. Right? Tomorrow: The rest of the story! LOL. Enjoy the coming weekend everyone!
