Miss Lottie's Journal - November 1932 - December 1932




[Note: The above photo was taken on the Skyline Drive atop of the Blue Ridge Mountain as it looks down into the Shenandoah Valley. The Peaked or Massanutten Mountain is shown as the light blue range in the background as it rises from the floor of the Valley to meet the sky.  If one follows Rt. 33 west from Elkton, one would literally go around the tip of this beautiful mountain range and into Harrisonburg. This photo has not been edited. This range of mountains are truly blue when viewed from a distance. The area between the Blue Ridge and Massanutten is the area covered in the Journal of Miss Lottie Davis.]
