Weekend at Loft Mountain Campground

Weekend at Loft Mountain Campground Trip: 57 Nights: 189-190 It was 92F (32C) in RVA. It was 75C (23C) and breezy two hours away in Shenandoah National Park. We chose wisely. It was a very chill weekend. We arrived around 430 PM on Friday, and after setting up camp, we did some birding in the campground. Dinner was our traditional arrival night meal - sandwiches from WaWa. We had no cell service at the campsite (rejoice!). Friday night was consumed by card/board games and an early bedtime. On Saturday morning we drove about 30 miles North to the Big Meadows area of the park and logged 30 bird species, including Cerulean and Blackburnian Warblers that I can only see at home when they are passing through during migration. After a picnic lunch at Big Meadows, we headed back to camp, where I spent the entire afternoon in a camp chair with a book and a couple of beers. A perfect afternoon. On Saturday night we hung out around the campfire before heading into the camper for board games.…
