With all the time in the world why would I choose to travel Memorial Day Weekend?!?! So my dear friend Lynn T-G could go with me! (Sometimes us ladies of leisure have to accommodate the working folk). We started from Charlottesville, headed west to Raphine & Wade's Mill, a working flour mill c. 1750. Then twisting roads led through Goshen Pass to Blowing Springs Campground in the George Washington National Forest. Down to Warm Springs, for a leisurely soak in the mineral pool, then continued south to see breathtaking Falling Springs Falls, and ended the day at Buckhorne Country Store & Campground. For our final days we headed up the Blue Ridge Parkway, camping at Peaks of Otter, where we had a drizzly walk to the old Johnson Farm historic site, enjoyed a fabulous pancake breakfast after a rainy night, followed by a sunny, warm hike on the Fallingwater Trail.
