Fog on the Blue Ridge

 Monday morning driving toward Afton Mountain from Staunton. The sign said it all ...

... and, sure enough, the mountain ridge was covered with thick fog.

Fog alert on Afton Mountain ... rainy night in the Shenandoah Valley

It has been a rainy Sunday in the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains. As a result, there is a possibility of thick fog on Afton Mountain so extra caution is required on I-64 and Rt. 250 crossing the Rockfish Gap.

Camp lodge ... inside it was packed with young people.

The bridge to somewhere in the mountains....

The creek meandered downhill ...

... as the buses waited to return to Staunton.

Rope courses, climbing walls, soccer, mountain hiking trails, exploring the creek, football in the rain, fellowship and friendship ... add to that mix 80 young people bursting with energy ... and you have a bustling mountain lodge.

Even the rain and fog couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of spending time in the western reaches of Virginia. It was a good day.
