The last few pictures, and the next few to come were taken on the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. You can see the mountains get a bit more spread out here. FYI - the Skyline drive is a toll road ($5 for motorcycles), whereas the Blue Ridge Parkway is free. I was told to avoid the Skyline Drive due to all the RV traffic, but it wasn't bad when I was there. Your mileage may vary.
