Spring is here, and with the lower elevation of Virginia (2,500 - 3,500') lots more vegetation. This is pretty much what I am seeing everyday. Those are almost all giant rhododendron's! Can't wait till end of June when they bloom as they cover the mountains. Right now - though - they don't allow any views left or right - just straight ahead. A large portion of people will quit during this next stretch. It took almost 500 miles to get to Virginia, and it will take 545 miles to get all the way across it. They call this the "Virginia Blues" since not much changes, no views, and no milestones. I'll admit - it's getting very tough mentally - 20 miles a day with nothing to look at - you can only "think" so much a day, and to be honest - I have probably already thought about it getting to this point. Pictures may be kinda boring for a bit.
