The Southern entrance to Shenandoah National Park, The Parkway, Wintergreen and the high traffic on I64 really should add up. <br /><br />It is one of those things you really wonder why hasn't been done already.Bob K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11429582213793776592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22304160.post-33066152272224066582009-04-29T11:15:00.000-04:002009-04-29T11:15:00.000-04:00Bob wrote, "Do you mind if this becomes a feature ...Bob wrote, <I>"Do you mind if this becomes a feature in The Journey when I have time for some drawing?"</I>Bob, are you kidding? I think it would be wonderful! That's the beauty of having an artist for a friend! Would you let me copy them on SWAC Girl (with credit to you)?<br /><br />I'd love to see your ideas for Afton ... will you draw a nice little cafe with a terrace with tables for me? :)<br /><br />Your artistic ability would absolutely make Afton the crown jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains.Lynn R.

Afton has always been a favorite spot of mine but the past 10 years it has really gotten run down.<br /><br />A little cafe with tables on an outdoor terrace as a place to meet friends or just relax and look out over the mountains would be perfect!Lynn R.
