Along U.S. 340 in Page County

Not Far from Luray


Here we see the South Fork of the Shenandoah from a boat landing just off 340 where it bypasses Luray. There’s also a business route 340, the old route that goes through Luray and Stanley. U.S. 340 runs from Greenville, Virginia to Frederick, Maryland, and I’ve traveled all of it at one time or another. It passes through some beautiful country.

I took these pictures at the end of October. I imagine the leaves have fallen since then. We had a frost yesterday, and today there was much-needed rain.


 The third picture is from later that day when I was driving back along 340. In the distance is a peak in the Massanutten Mountains.
