Pretty Places
I showed a picture of the Peaks of Otter motor lodge on the Blueridge Parkway to a friend in Dubois Wyoming he said ‘any place in Wyoming is prettier than any place in Virginia’. Wyoming a beautiful state. I love the majestic mountains and the wide open prairie where you can see for miles. I’ve had people tell me they didn’t like to go through Kansas. It was all the same. Miles of corn and wheat fields. I happen to love big corn and wheat fields with a giant green and yellow tractor working. Nothing prettier.
I think the prettiest place in Virginia is Burks Garden. Imagine a giant bowl with 28,000 acres of rolling farmland in the bottom with mountains surrounding it. It’s so nice George Vanderbilt wonted to build the Builtmore there but couldn’t buy it. The farmers wouldn’t sell. The people there call it Vanderbilt’s first choice.
What is the prettiest place where you live?
