Greetings from Shenandoah National Park

In June 2015 my wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. After much discussion on where to go for this monumental occasion, we decided to celebrate in Shenandoah National Park. My wife first camped here and climbed Old Rag Mtn. while in college on the east coast. I brought my oldest son here when he was in high school. My wife and I spent several weekends here with our two youngest children and several weekends by ourselves hiking and always staying in Skyland Lodge. I hiked Old Rag at least three times. Several of our friends chided me for not taking my wife to a luxury resort to which I responded that we both decided to spend our anniversary in a rustic resort instead. Here is a photo of my wife and I celebrating our 30th Anniversary on top of Hawksbill Mountain, the highest peak in the park, looking west over the beautiful Shanandoah Valley.

Sincerely,
Bill & Elise Wolfe
