The full day drive to Virginia was rough. All of the camp grounds were closed for the season so I just had to find a pull off and caught a few winks. Driving through the mountains for northern West Virginia at night, on a narrow 2 lane road with tight hair pin turns and semi-trucks going the opposite way while driving a truck that is much larger than I'm used to was an adventure to say the least. I didn't take very many pictures while there as I spent most of my time on the road making short visits with family and teaching my Nephew's future MIL how to shoot. That's always fun. She did really well and we all had a blast, literally.
Then it was down to Radford in SW Virginia where I shot these near home.

And for Halloween, we have 3 graveyards on the street I grew up on.

Then I spent a day on a local range with 2 of my Nieces and my BIL Dave.
This is my Niece Miranda with my new M1A Scout.
