Sherando Lake

Photobucket

It was kind of dreary on the day we visited, but we enjoyed walking around. We had it mostly to ourselves. We wanted to see if it was worth making a trip back with the children. We decided it is much like a park near our home.

We had a good time with the octogenarian in the gift shop who said "I'd like to keep you two around! You are a lot of fun!" We thought she was fun too! She and her husband volunteer at the lake.

dry river beds due to the lack of rain
This is the first time I have visited the mountains of Virginia and not seen water flowing.
