Today our so-called fast group turned in to the slow group: we wanted to drive Skyline Drive (national forest, speed limit 35), while the others wanted to catch a brewery tour (they picked the wrong choice and missed a great drive and fabulous lunch ice-cream stop!)
Skyline Drive is less twisty than yesterdays Blue Ridge Parkway, but arguably has better views – and lots more wildlife! We saw a black bear cross in front of us, multiple deer, and assorted smaller animals …
Our lunch stop was Cones & Bones in Hagerstown, another A1 ice cream stop (and lunch across the road was excellent too!)
The long, slower, drive on Skyline – and the poor weather and excessive roadworks, meant we arrived at and immediately left the hotel for dinner, chasing the other MINIs to Leibys … Worth it though … 🙂
