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.

Re: Big Meadows
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.

Re: Big Meadows
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:

Re: Big Meadows
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
