Just got back from vacation

[ThePresence]

I went to Virginia (Shenandoah National Park area) with some family for a week, had a great time. I didn't take alot of pics, I was taking video instead, but here are a few. We stayed at a gorgeous place called Shadow Mountain Escape (highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to stay in that area). We got to see a bear (almost hit it with the car), a wild turkey and other wildlife, which was nice.

Some pics of the place we stayed:

wow you are a lifer and bumped your own thread w/in 10 minutes ... pretty sad 😛

Beautiful area. I live in Winchester, VA and go to school in Harrisonburg, VA. Luray is about halfway between them. The valley is filled with this stuff.

Yeah, that area is really beautiful. You're lucky.

No, we did not. I will never camp out again.
I used to be a big camper, went backpacking every year for at least a week at a time. The last time (few years ago in the Adirondack Mountains) I got awakened at about 4 AM by loud panting and grunting. A huge bear brushed against my tent and reminded me that there is a reason why humans progressed from sleeping in the woods to 5 star hotels. 🙂

We went through the caverns too, really nice. Skyline is just beautiful. It really is.

Nice pics.

I had a dream last night about a bear chasing me. I had to climb one leg of a huge metal tripod to get away from it. 😕

Because I wanted to. Feel free not to post in threads you have issues with.
