Shenandoah National Park — Virginia Shenandoah's renowned 105-mile Skyline Drive is one of the most picturesque routes in the Northeast. This National Scenic Byway winds along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offering breathtaking views of rugged peaks and the lush Shenandoah Valley. Spring, when wildflowers are in full bloom, is an especially ideal time to visit.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?Hiking the Garden of the Gods with my daughter was an unforgettable adventure. We marveled at the towering red rock formations, explored winding trails, and enjoyed the breathtaking views. The variety of paths allowed us to challenge ourselves while still having fun, and the stunning natural beauty around every corner made it a perfect bonding experience. The mix of excitement and tranquility made it one of our favorite hikes together.
What would you do with $10,000?With $10,000, we'd kickstart the off-grid RV park by investing in essential infrastructure: solar panels and battery storage for sustainable energy, a water collection and filtration system, and composting toilets. Funds would also cover initial land preparation, clearing spaces for RV spots, and creating basic amenities like fire pits and picnic areas. A portion would go toward marketing to attract the first wave of eco-conscious travelers, ensuring a solid foundation for growth.
