A Free Pass and a View

My new pass to our state parks arrived. It is good for one year and I earned it by volunteering 100 hours in our state parks, mostly at Seven Bends. I used it yesterday to visit Shenandoah River State Park.

The weather was freezing cold, and we had already been to a chilly dog park, so I only got out of the car briefly to take pictures at Cullers Overlook. The view there is always worth seeing, with the South Fork of the Shenandoah winding through the valley.
