I love the Blue Ridge Mountains. Years ago we went hiking in the Shenandoah Valley on our way to Piney Grove, Va to visit friends. Beautiful photos of a beautiful place.

I, myself, always pull over and take a moment to stop, breathe in and take pictures of the beautiful views of the road. Travel safe, orples!

orples: How do you call the little tree at the bottom-right of the photo? It smell pungent, acrid, vinegar-like. We call them vinegar trees, they grow fast into large trees, with good shade, but no fruits.
