Our Saturday Drive

to Blacksburg was a real treat. The flyover was at 3:25 and we got to our favorite viewing spot about 3:23. As soon as my feet touched the ground we could hear the jets on the air, but we couldnt see them. I took this photo of Lane Stadium , home of the Hokies, from our vantage spot.
The sky ws supremely beautiful with all the clouds and billows as we scanned the horizon for the coming aircraft. And then... there they were flying one right behind the other...side by side....They were sneaking up on the stadium right on time, and then...the after burners were kicking in as they zoomed off to the left and were heading due east back home. I cannot describe my feelings when that sonic roar explodes as the f18's pass overhead. What a rush!
We drove through the campus enjoying the Orange effect- everyone wearing orange. The tailgaters gear still standing testimony to the thrill of expectant
victory against Georgia Tech. I havent heard the outcome yet, so we'll have to see if we do in fact win! But we were more interested in our lovely drive home back down Blacksburg Road through Catawba Valley. Beautiful any time of the year, today, because of the amazing sky, it was exquisite!
And then I ran out of battery!
