Blackrock Overlook

2017 New England, National Parks, Road Trip, Shenandoah NP-Virginia, States, Virginia

What started out as a hike to Lewis Falls turned into a celebration of our Appalachian Trail experiences. Fifty years ago this summer Karen backpacked a week long AT trip in The Smokies with her Dad and a brother and sister. Just as we and Steve’s friend Stan commemorated their 1966 hike last summer. The two of us decided this would be an anniversary hike. Then as we paused to drink in the view at Blackrock Overlook, Karen’s sister called! It seemed poetic! All in all it was a good hike. It was longer than we expected, not the 1.5 mile roundtrip that we thought the ranger had told us. We were exhilarated, thirsty, and hungry by the time we returned and truly enjoyed a meal at the cafe at Big Meadows.

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
