Shenandoah National Park

24 Sept 2007 - We moved into our new home (for about 7 weeks) on 29 August so we could receive 3 days of training before the big weekend coming up. Sure enough, as you can see, the park reached 100% occupancy for only the second time this year!! Becky and I claim credit for the success (helped slightly by Labor Day weekend). The weather is beautiful and cool and the weeks are quiet and peaceful. We love it. We saw our first black bear within a few days (only a few sightings since) but we only managed a photo on one occasion. Deer, on the other hand, are very plentiful with many, many doe and at least 5 buck with at least 8 points. We believe at least one of them has 10 points and one has a huge spread on his rack. More photos to follow of them. The butterfly was Becky's first addition to the blog - pretty good pupil don't you think!
