The VA 230 Prelude Meet, Part 2

Leaving Warrenton, we see Alwington Boulevard, which sounds like someone mispronoucing Arlington.


Back on the highway.


A new interchange for US 17 is being built.


The south end of VA 28.


US 15/29 bypasses Culpeper.


Insert snide comment about error shields being the work of Satan.


Weird signage for US 522 and VA 3.


US 15 departs US 29.


Mountains!


Culpeper has VA 299 to its south and VA 229 to its north. That must be confusing to out-of-towners.


Between Culpeper and Madison, which are the seats of counties of the same names.


Meeting VA 230, with some derpy shields.


Beginning on VA 230, we see this.


VA 230 is scenic and fun to drive.


That's it for the road photos from this trip. What's that? You want to see some Preludes? Well, here you go.


I resumed driving after the sun set, so no more pictures, but I had a great time.

The VA 230 Prelude Meet, Part 1

Since I didn't drive on Skyline Drive any, I couldn't call it that, but that was the premise. A few of us from across the Mid-Atlantic and east coast met and drove to a campground last Saturday. I stayed for the day while others camped out there.

I left around sunrise. Here's the I-95/VA 150/VA 895 interchange before sunlight fully hits it.


In Richmond.


Getting north of Richmond suburbia.


Every time I see these signs, I think it may be the last time I will, so I photograph them.


The vast nothingness between Richmond and Fredericksburg. yawn


Passing VA 3.


Here's my exit. The meeting point was in Warrenton on US 211.


Trying to get out of Falmouth, a.k.a. Sprawlmouth.


Now away from Fredericksburg suburbia, entering the rural southwestern parts of Stafford County.


Crossing into Fauquier County.


Approaching VA 28.


Not long after VA 28, US 17 meets US 15/29 and follows them to Warrenton.


Old signage in downtown Warrenton.


Coming in part 2: Preludes and mountains!
