Today was the first day this week that I took Charlie to a park. It’s been cold and some of the back roads still have icy patches. The road down to the river was even narrower than usual because the plows had piled snow along the edges.
Fortunately, we didn’t meet another vehicle on Lupton Road. There was no room to pull over to pass.
There is ice on the North Fork of the Shenandoah, but the main channel is flowing.
Seven Bends State Park was almost deserted, although there were staff members working around the barn. The parking lots had been cleared, but trails were still covered with icy hard snow. Temperatures have remained below freezing. We did not attempt to take a walk.
I turned around and drove back across the low water bridge. I was glad to have gotten some pictures of the river, and I think we were both glad to get out of the house.
