Today we had to go over Afton Mountain for a doctor appointment. We have to do this quite frequently. It's about 30 minutes away. We saw some strange sights. We had to drive SO slowly behind this house that was being transported.
Finally able to pass it, it was pretty big. Even had an air conditioner unit on it.
Next was this weird sight.
I did like this colorful truck encouraging people to adopt pets.
OY, it's rutting season for the deer! This road can be littered with dead deer by the shoulder. It is scary to drive here in the fall, as so many people hit the deer as they come racing across the highway.
We passed this strange item on the median in the center of the road.
Ah, finally at the parking garage, where the rafters are covered with these stickers! Maybe inspection notices?
Here is the tunnel we walk through that connects the two hospital buildings across the street.
And finally, the famous Blue Ridge Mountain overlook on the way.
“Driving over the mountains is like
flipping through nature’s storybook—each peak a plot twist, each valley a
whispered secret.”

Dear Ginny, that is quite a large house being transported! I love the truck with the dog, encouraging people to adopt!
Great post, dear friend. And you have a talent for changing your blog header!
You saw some interesting sights across the mountain. Thanks for sharing them with us. Hope your doctor’s appointment went well.
I love what you did with your header photo.
Sounds tiring to have to travel far for regular appointments. You're very good at using your camera to focus on other things along the way, though! :) ♥
So many interesting things to see on the drive. Nice that you could pass the time by getting pictures. Love that view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I like that quote about driving in the mountains, landscapes are always changing and I rather view them than TRAFFIC even though you did find a lot of interesting things. I am wondering what that THING is in the middle of the road, poor deer
You certainly did see some unusual things! Glad you made it there and back safely. We have a lot of deer around here too and I hate driving in dusk and dark, for fear of them running out in front of me.
I love the header - almost doesn't look real. I can see why they are called the Blue Ridge Mtns. We have a lot of deer (dead) too - so sad. You do make your trips fun.
Hands down, you get the most unique and unusual photos, Ginny. And driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains couldn't provide better scenery. You are blessed to live where you do. Blessings!
You capture the most interesting things on your journey over the mountain.
Crazy stuff but be careful with all of those deer.
Love your banner too.

I do love those blue ridge mountains. My daughters are traveling to that area next month...Isn't it amazing some of the things that you see on the roads these days. You did come across some interesting vehicles Lots of deer around here as well...All the woods around and they still try to cross the highways...many do not make it...
I love that you take your camera on these trips and share your pictures with us. I hope the doctor's visit went well. Much love.
Ginny, you have a talent for posting the most interesting and unique photos! I hope the appointment went well. I always love visiting you , and always leave happy! Oh, and the vintage looking radio? I got it at Macys! It has three or four different stations!
That's a lot of different things to observe in only 30 minutes. We have to drive at least 30 minutes most every place we go!!
You saw some peculiar sightings on your trip. I've never seen a house being transported on the highway. It makes me sad when I see the deer lying on the side of the road. I've seen a few while driving into town. And the Blue Ridge Mountain is a familiar sight for you. Your post home hit home for me, as driving in the mountians is an everyday occurance for me. So, I really liked the quote you shared. : )

You always manage to find such interesting things wherever you go.
Beautiful view of the Blue Ridge mountains and I really like how you edited it for your header. Very creative.
What an interesting day and drive for you!
It's always an adventure to drive most anywhere. But the mountain views make yours worth the drive.
