We made our next stop in Salem, VA. Our first day exploring took us back on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Once again, the pull outs here afford beautiful views of the mountains and the towns below. Our second day, we toured Dixie Caverns. The name came from the dog that found the cavern in 1920. Another day, we drove up to hike at Natural Bridge State Park. The bridge started forming millions of years ago. It is said that George Washington carved his name in the bridge but we don’t know where.
