This is a relatively small park (about 5 miles of River frontage and ~1500 acres) compared to Shenandoah National Park (100+ miles long and ~80,000 acres).It does contain the Shenandoah River, which, notwithstanding, the 1971 John Denver Song 'Co
untry Roads' is almost all in Virginia with only a small section in West Virginia (also only a small section of the Blue Ridge Mountains is in WV).

Image one is Ann at the Everette Culler's Overlook.
The second image is a 'do not feed the bears' instruction that is affixed to many picnic tables in the park.
The third image shows part of the river that is visible in the first image except it is close up.
We saw this park after the Skyline drive visit. It is off route 340 about 8 miles south of Front Royal. Although I can remember several visits to Skyline drive this is the first time I've visited this park as it only opened in 1999.

In the dream I had been hired by Trader Joe's to conduct a seminar of some kind.
I suppose it must have had something to do with kashrut but I don't remember that.
I was going through a slide (my dreams have apparently uploaded power point) when a person opens the door to the room and asks me if there is space for an important guest.
I said, "Sure". In walks Bill Clinton. He asks if I recognize him. I said that I did and that I was in government while he was President and worked with Rodney Slater (who was a self identifying 'Friend of Bill', Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration and later Secretary of Transportation)..
Clinton asked me to tell some Rodney Slater stories. I gulped... and then woke up.
