I was reminded today of my visit to Shenandoah National Park in May 2016. It was intended to be a birthday trip for Jen, though we arrived to find a very foggy park.
Undeterred, we embraced the circumstances and decided to adopt a scenic overlook “mini-quest.” Whether we could see a damn thing or not, we would stop at all 75 overlooks and snap a photo. We expected to end the day with an album of foggy vistaswhich is exactly what we got, but the quest aspect made it more fun than it otherwise should have been. It’s a good reminder for when things don’t go quite as you had planned or hoped they go.
