We’re sitting here listening to a Bluegrass duo at the Floyd Country Store on May 9 at noon and reminiscing the last couple of days.
We packed most of the outdoor stuff Wednesday afternoon to avoid doing it in the forecasted rain later on. And it did rain overnight and most of the way to our next stop at Fairy Stone State Park.
Friday started with a walk to hunt for fairy stones, which appear either as rods or crosses with hexagonal cross sections and are almost always embedded in a larger rock. We’ll try to dremel out what we found when we’re back home. That afternoon Jenny painted and I hiked the Little Mountain Falls trail. Nice view from the Blue Ridge Overlook! Then for dinner we cooked a way-too-big flank steak on the fire ring.
Which brings me back to this morning. We drove to Floyd and had a great breakfast at the Blue Ridge Diner, wandered the farmers market, peeked in many of the shops, and ended up here at a stop on Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail.
We drove back to camp the long way, via the Blue Ridge Parkway, and this Rock Castle Gorge overlook.
