We spent the most wonderful Memorial Day weekend in the Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia. As we have so many times, we headed the two-seater roadster in a general direction with no particular destination in mind. What we found is "another world": wide, aromatic fields of hay for horses, barns for egg-producing hens, fields for horses and dairy cows plus the most wonderful bed-n-breakfast accommodation ever to be found by pure accident in Mt. Jackson. Life goes on at a slower pace, cultures blend and people love to talk about themselves and to share their lives even with strangers from western Pennsylvania. And we found one of the best ever drives for people in an open-top car like a Miata -- Zepp Road. We hope that the people who live long this road appreciate the natural beauty with which they live.
