Big Meadows

We had a fun trip- besides the night monster- and we forgot to back Kenny's bag and he threw out his back. ;) Next time will be better. We did manage to see some cool stuff. Here are some pics:

Luray Caverns
These are just stalactites reflecting in a pool of very still water- the illusion was really awesome-the camera didn't do it justice-

Lots of deer. Saw a big black bear run across the road but didn't get a pic.

Thanks for the photos.

I have been camping there since I was a baby. Feels like home everytime I go back. I didn't recall Luray caverns but know I went there when I was little- very cool as an adult- a little hokey but cool.

This was the first time I took my son. I am planning to take them back in the fall. Also planning an Appalachian Trail hike next year- just the VA portion-then later a thru hike.

I remember doing Laray Caverns a loooooong time ago when I was a kid. Very pretty place. I would like to go again sometime. Is this on or near the Skyline Drive? Foggy memories from way back when... :)

Rob, it's right off Skyline Drive virtually right in the middle. Here's just one link, of many:

Looks like a good time.

You should have seen that new movie about the cave explorers stuck in a cave in the pitch blackness, batteries running low and something attacking them before you went :eek: :p
