Strade Belle means beautiful roads and today we started riding them. That is right after we did a parking lot oil change at the local Walmart. The 3 most famous roads in these mountains are the Shenandoah Skyline, Blue Ridge Parkway and the Cherahola Skyway. We intend to do all 3 and did the Shenandoah today as well as the northmost 95 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The views are awesome and our camera will not do them justice. Yesterday we saw a groundhog and today we saw several deer, a black bear and one poor rattlesnake that chose to sun itself on the blacktop. We were going farther on the Blue Ridge but it was looking a lot like rain so we stopped for the night at Roanoke where we had discount coupons for a motel that was about the same price as the campground we were going to stay at. And the rain did not disappoint us. It started right after we entered our rooms. It is not bad sleeping in a tent while it rains but you must pack everything while it is wet and then hope that the next night is dry so that everything will dry out. We have had a lot of rain this trip and cannot trust that the next night wil be dry. And it is absolutely no fun to set up or take down a camp while it is raining. So tonight we are really enjoying our $35 motel room. ~230 miles today
Abbiamo cominciato il giorno cambiando olio e filtro sulle moto nel parcheggio del Walmart. Ci sono 3 strade in quest'area famose per la loro bellezza, il Shenandoah Skyline, il Blue Ridge Parkway e il Cherahola Skyway. Oggi abbiamo viaggiato il Shenandoah e 95 miglia del Blue Ridge. Anche abbiamo visto 2 cervi e un orso nero. Il cielo e' diventato nero cosi siamo fermati a Roanoke e trovato un'albergo per la notte. Non ci piace facendo la tenda nella pioggia. Per fortuna non piove fino a siamo entrati le nostre camere. ~230 miglia
