Nelson County, VA
There is a scenic overlook along I-64 eastbound. Here you can enjoy a mountain
view, with U.S. Route 250 not far below you. Before the interstate was built,
Rt. 250 was the main road between Richmond and the Shenandoah Valley. Even
earlier, it was a Monacan Indian trail across the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Unfortunately, the interstate overlook is marred with graffiti, and I saw some
young people adding to it.
There are three historical markers at the overlook, and if you are curious,
you can read the text at Historical Marker Database:
Rockfish Gap Meeting,
Flight of Richard C. Dupont,
and
Greenwood-Afton Rural Historic District.
Absolutely amazing views!
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is disgusting and so are the people who create it. Nature in all its glory was not put there for them to disfigure. Morons.
