Days 1 and 2: An exciting start in SNP

Off to a good start this week. Made it to Shenandoah National Park yesterday and was welcomed with some amazing views on Skyline Drive. I parked at Pinnacles Picnic Area and hiked Mary's Rock.  Saw a black bear on the way back, it was probably 30 yards away from me. Luckily he saw me too and ran away! Booked it back to my RV after that while making lots of noise the whole way. I spent the night in Big Meadows Campground and checked out the visitor center there this morning. After that I left the park along Skyline Drive, and stopped for some photos and views along the way. I went to at Ballast Point Brewery on my to Greenbrier campground, where I'll be for the next two nights. Looking forward to going into Great Smoky Mountain National Park tomorrow! More photos here.
