Today's Drive

Went up to Eagle Rock,VA,then took back roads to Highway 43.
43 is about 17 miles long (from Eagle Rock to Buchannon).

Having grown up a country boy, love driving those two lane back roads.

It also has a 55 mph speed limit!

Doug - that is fantastic driving country! Looks a lot like rural southern New England.

Wish I knew the history of that old house - the door lights and side chimney look like Civil War era.

Great photos!

There is a place named Burke VA North of you Doug that had amazing tree covered winding roads along side creeks. Also lakes to go fishing in. After I moved to California, a planned community of 80,000 was built there. The lake still exists, but way too many homes now to really have fun I'd guess.

Burke's in the DC area - a ways from here.

Reminds me of southeast Ohio. We lived in a house similar in design. I was built in the 1870's.

 

[mikephillips]

WOW, you must be well preserved....

 

[Trevor Triumph]

Well, i am. But the house was built on the 1870's.

Pretty country down there. I used to visit my late brother in Charlottesville. He passed away last Fall. He would have been 85 in February. Had an MGA as a student at UVA.
