Day 89 Shenandoah Big Meadows, VA -Beckley, WV 10.28.16
Continued our tour through the park with better views of the valleys as we had sunshine today.  Between the two days, we stopped at 65 or so of the 75 pull outs.  That's a lot of ins and outs. The best stop of course was Beagle Gap.  We also walked a short bit on the Appalachian Trail.  We continued onto the Blue Ridge Parkway and then onto Hwy 11 at Steeles Tavern. Never saw the tavern so not sure if there ever was one or just the name of the town. Passed briefly through Lexington.  Stopped at the Natural Bridge but the state park charges a lot just to go see a natural feature that takes about 20 mins to see so we opted out. The road goes over the natural bridge but you still can't see it because there is a fence that blocks your view.  We just took our picture with the painted mural of it in the gift shop.  Lol.  In the town of Buchanan, we stopped to walk across the suspension bridge which said maximum of three people on the bridge at one time. Sure glad the beagle doesn't weigh very much. The bridge creaked as we walked across but we made it across and then back safely.  Then it was onward to Beckley, West Virginia for the evening.
