Just a quick post to let everyone know where I am - the wireless in my room isn't working so having to use the hotel lobby machine :-(
Not such good weather today - started cloudy and ended pouring with rain - but still an interesting drive through rural Virginia. Starting with Staunton itself, a very beautiful city with a small-town feel steeped in American history (birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, among other things). Then down through the Deerfield Valley looking at the Blue Ridge to my left, then up and over the Alleghany mountain ridge into West Virginia (where petrol is REALLY expensive 30-40 cents more than everywhere else!). Today's wildlife - a Cooper's Hawk sitting on a fencepost by the roadside (but too shy to be photographed), a blue jay down by the river, and several groundhogs (mostly deadlife, I'm afraid, but 2 live ones skipping across the road) - and lots of squirrels!
Also stopped off to look at Falling Spring Falls, and ate my lunch listening to the sound of the water mingled with the rustle of falling leaves. Pretty!
