Take a Rural Peek

If you’re trapped in the city and you crave a mountain to rest your eyes against, I found the webcam for you.

This one, pointed at Cahas Mountain in northern Franklin County, is at Oak Hill Stables in Boones Mill. The webcam gives a glimpse of what a rural part of Franklin County looks like—what’s left of it.


Last night's post last night showed Roanoke in the evening. This one shows Franklin County in the morning. I grabbed this image a little after 8:30 a.m.

Go ahead. Take a peek at rural Virginia.

While it’s still there.

Becky, that's where I learned to ride Dressage. That's Nancy and Sean's place!

What's left of it? Compared to where I come from, it will take many many years of development for me to feel that I am not WAY OUT in the country. (But I still hate to see ANYTHING plowed over.)

It sure is beautiful.
