Shenandoah National Park…
…in the cold, snow and ice
April 17, 2018
This was the COLDEST day, and night, we have had in our 10 months on the road. And it is APRIL! The overnight low was 25 and the daytime high was 33 degrees. We are shaking our heads and wondering if winter will ever end, as we see more cold and snow coming across the US.
We drove the Skyline Drive today in fog and flurries…see?
And the temps kepy dropping, and dropping….
We have a campsite with a beautiful view…we think…see?

Today’s snow made us think back- in the 10 months we have been on the road we have had snow in 6 of them and freezing temps in 8 of them! How can this be? One of our goals was to seek out warm, moderate weather- not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, not too dry. Epic fail, I guess
We hiked down, and I mean down, to this waterfall-
900 ft drop in a mile, and then back up!
We did get a few clearer views the second day. Yes, we did fit through this tunnel- driving down the middle!

So this crazy weather might be your fault. You just haven’t the warm weather to send back to us. Safe travels.
