Shenandoah National Park, SkyLine Drive

This was day two of our trip to Asheville North Carolina.

Skyline Drive in August was perfect, the temperature in the valley

was around 90 degrees mid day, but up on the ridge of skyline drive it was a 

delightful 75 degrees and sunny. While riding the ridge we saw black bear, deer, and thousands of 

butterflies. Literally thousands of butterflies it must have been mating season.

Finger Lakes - Western New York - Lake Keuka

Leaving Penn Yan we went out riding around Lake Keuka.  The road had slow, easy turns and there was  literally no traffic in front or in back of us.  It was such a quiet and peaceful ride.  We stopped for lunch at a  restaurant on the lake called Snug Harbor.  The bottom picture is from their lakeside deck.
