Skyline Drive is a scenic road through Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. The Blue Ridge Mountains are on one side of the road, and the Shenandoah Valley and River are on the other. Traffic was very light the morning we were there, and the ranger at the entrance, in response to Bob's hopeful query, told us that yes, a bear had been spotted just yesterday in one of the trees alongside the road. Bob's Bear Radar went into full gear as we started our excursion along the twisting pavement.
