McGaheysville Random-osity


The Good: I was pleased to find a couple of murals in McGaheysville. This lost civilization scene is on an "Escape Game" center near Massanutten Resort.

Monday Mural: The second mural is a decorated daycare center.


The Random: Except for the ski resort, Mcgaheysville is in a rural area. The name is pronounced "mÉ™-GAK-eez-vil." The first European to settle permanently in the area was Adam Miller (Mueller), a German immigrant, in 1726.

Mosaic Monday, The Barn Collective.
The Fun: After I left that area I drove east to Shenandoah National Park. It's always fun seeing the deer. At Big Meadows and Skyland, they were close to the road.

  6. Thanks for the "pronunciation" guide for the town. Loved that barn with its legs and overhang. How do they keep deer coming so near people? Maybe regular feeding?

  9. And of course once those deer start running, that tail starts showing.
