I bid a fond farewell to Shenandoah around 8:45 am and headed south. This is a park I would like to get to know a little better. I was pleased with the Lewis Springs Falls Trail and if any of the other trails in the park are similar, they are worth hiking. The bear, of course, was an unexpected extra.
My route was highway 33 to highway 29. I passed through Charlottesville for the second time in my life – the first was several years ago with Rob Nathans on our way to New York city. I didn’t stop this time. Rob and I stopped for dinner at a truck stop but only after we got lost downtown, if that’s possible in Charlottesville.
Today, the town has a totally different connotation from the University of Virginia and Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe – bigly ugly. I feel for the city and hope it recovers.
The trip to Greensboro was around 4 1/2 hours. I pulled into town, diseled up the jeep and headed to my cousin Jimmie and Stephen’s house. They always make me feel at home – and family I am. As usual, we laughed over old times, remembered friends and foes and our childhood.

It just occurred to me we didn’t rehash burning our cousin Joe Lee at the stake. We’ll have to do that before I leave. I suppose it was a good thing Aunt Mabel stopped us before we lit the fire.
Jimmie made Waldorf salad and we all sat down to a helping of that. Jimmie’s Waldorf is an especially tasty variation of the classic. She (and I) both prefer pecans to walnuts. Again, childhood – the first time I ate Waldorf salad was at the Gulf Cafe in Morton, Mississippi (our home town). Strange that a little cafe in a little town turned out such fancy food.
We later headed out to dinner at a local Greek restaurant. Usually when I get a Greek salad, they overdo the feta. This salad was perfectly done. I did the gyro wrap and it was very filling. You also couldn’t beat the price for the amount of food.
Tomorrow, we plan to head to Chapel Hill to visit the botanical gardens. At one time, UNC Chapel Hill was considered the premier botanical school in the country. Only the University of Michigan was considered its near equal and Michigan specialized in ferns. After tomorrow, I can now say I went to UNC Chapel Hill -nothing like padding one’s résumé. Too bad it’s not needed any more. Technically it wouldn’t be a lie – rightttt!
