I drove my Dad up there during my last visit to Virginia - he didn't want to walk around much, but we did sit at a picnic table and have a little snack.

I know, these parks are magnificent and I wholly support them - but a great great... I forget how many great uncle of my father's mother was displaced, and his letters are part of the discourse in the book by Katrina Powell, titled the "The Anguish of Displacement: The Politics of Literacy in the Letters of Mountain Families in Shenandoah National Park" (which I highly recommend if you love the Shenandoah Nat'l Park. It's a fascinating - and somewhat transformative view - of the people that made their livelihood on those mountain tops.<br /><br />Your images are beautiful - made me a bit homesick tonight.Pamhttp://www.talesfromthelaboratory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-14536696942167245042010-10-28T22:42:45.611-04:002010-10-28T22:42:45.611-04:00Hi Les, All these meadows bring back memories of ...Hi Les, All these meadows bring back memories of when I was a nine year old kid herding goats on the meadows.
