Decidedly leaving the Skyline and headed out of the park to create more miles per hour. The road/highway out of the park was just as fun.
The wonder of the trip I had already found at Natural Bridge state park in Virginia. Towering over 200 ft high I was lucky enough to be the only visitor there at 8am sharp. I stared at the magnificent structure for quite some time. As I was leaving a few adventurers were coming.
A funny paraphrased history lesson would be that a confederate troop were pissed they didn't get to bypass the natural bridge along their march as others in the confederacy. An informational stand explaining this. Can you imagine going to fight the Yanks and arguing with your officers. I guess it makes sense if you weren't going to be alive to see it again though.
Ending the day early from exhaustion I stayed at Alpine Motel in Abington, Va. Close to the border.
When packing and leaving on the 29th, in the excitement, I left a few things out of my bags. I went and restocked, hung out and enjoyed cable TV, wifi and got much needed rest.
I spoke with one of my motel neighbors that was packing up his BMW GS. His buddy inside the room had a Honda Africa Twin. Both, I've heard, are ideal for both pavement and dirt. They were headed to the discovery trail. I told him of my plan of hitting Deals Gap. A place for the motorcycle/sports car enthusiast. Something I've been wanting to do and have the perfect tool; BRZ.
