June 20th - Harper's Ferry, WV, to Charlottesville, VA

​Our route took us through about 30 miles of the Skyline Drive, with the Piedmont Valley to the East and the Shenandoah to the west. The views were awesome. We saw many deer. We stopped at Upper Hawk's Bill for a short hike to the highest spot in the park. We met a young data scientist from DC who is preparing to move to Seattle. 

Thirty miles of 25- to 35-mph curves was tiring to drive. We jumped off Skyline Drive at Swift Run Gap and finished the trip on I-64. Our campsite was lovely - a shady, flat gravel pad with a small creek running behind us. The dogs loved playing fetch there. And Hank and Angie enjoyed happy hour on the banks.
