Had a terrific day riding Skyline Drive, from Front Royal, VA in the north, to Rockfish Gap, 109 miles to the south. The speed limit is 35 or less the entire length. So, with stops to ogle the scenery and chew the fat with fellow travelers, it took us all day. This is not a complaint! Just a wonderful way to spend a relaxed day, just the Queen and I. And some nice folks out for a drive. One couple, Craig and Carrie hail from Canberra, Australia and are enjoying their visit to the East Coast. Had a lot of fun comparing notes about the pleasures of travel. We also met Richard and his wife (Really embarrassed not to have learned her name!) from Connecticut who are retired and cruising through the area just because. We both are driving BMW’s and started a mutual admiration society around our rides.
Sitting in our room waiting for supper to cook. Bought fixings at the Kroger’s for dinner, breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Helps economize a bit, and keeps me from creeping into warehouse status. Did eat out last night and this morning at a cute, small town diner called … wait for it … the Knotty Pine. Good food at a very reasonable price. Drafts for about 3 bucks. If you’re in Front Royal, stop in for a bite.
Well, dinner’s ready. And the Rangers are on in a few. Gotta go. Till tomorrow …

Loving your blogs and your pics. Would you believe I went to High School in a little Wisconsin town, where the popular restaurant was “The Knotty Pine”. Roger snd I ate there many times.
Stay safe.
