    Shenandoah Adventures—Day 4

    Luray Bell Tower The tower is dedicated to to Belle Brown Northcott. View of the letterbox Looking NE toward Stony Man Trailhead. Eyelevel view of 119 MLS set in top of step. Looking W down to Skyline Drive. On a beautiful blue-sky day, Rich looks out over the landscape from Crescent Rock.
