CRT2016 – Skyline Drive

Day five of Carter's road trip was supposed to include a beautiful two hour drive along the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Lori and I had driven the Skyline Drive when we moved to Texas in 2002, and I've always wanted to go back someday. Unfortunately, the weather did us in. We got a couple of very foggy views right at the start, and then it started to pour. And even once the road climbed above the rain, the fog was brutal. I could probably only see three or four car-lengths ahead of us - which is pretty nerve-wracking when you know you are driving along the side of a mountain and in many places the road doesn't have any kind of barrier between you and the air.
