The Trip

 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.”
