On Monday, we traveled about 45 minutes southwest out of Charlottesville to the Sherando Lake Recreation Area. This is a beautiful park in the Blue Ridge Mountains where you can swim, hike, picnic, and/or camp. There were a number of families enjoying the lake, but Bob and I had a great 3+ hour hike by combining a number of trails. It was $8 per car to enter. We have had lovely hiking conditions — temps in high 80s or low 90s with LOTS of shade.
