Shenandoah In My mind
The very first time when I heard the word "Shenandoah" is when we moved to our old hood in Atlanta. It is called Shenandoah Valley. I was told that this name comes from Shenandoah National Park in VA. Well I finally got a chance to visit. We initially planned to do backpacking for three days. However Sammy was caught into a work deadline and had to work for Saturday and Sunday. So We really had one day for hiking after a long drive. Instead we stayed in Big Meadows Inn and did a day hiking. It really is a lot of driving for that one day hike. But it was worth when driving along Skyland drive and wonder in front of Big Meadows. I hope that one day we are able to come across Shenandoah again when we can hike through Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Well it is a pipe dream for now.
I just admire that massiveness of natural lady ferns. It gives me a clue for the landscape of our mountain lodge. Ferns will be all it takes for that. Rustic Mountain lodge simply surrounded by fine lady ferns. It is in the pipe but I am dreaming it now.
