So, originally, I was gonna go with Caleb to Blue Ridge to get a tour, but I needed to turn in some things also. So he said he needed to go to the book store, so I was like cool that's fine (giving you background info like I always do. I used "so" twice. LOL. How lame is that?)(I also asked Aneila and Jordan, but they had other plans. I should probably plan out things better, but this drive was fun. :) ). Tuesday happens and Caleb isn't able to go. So I thought that was all good and OK because I had a somewhat idea on how to get to Blue Ridge. So, I'm driving down on 42 and I make it to the city of Blue Ridge, not the college. So I go to the post office in Blue Ridge and asked how to get to Route 11, because I knew it had to be right on there because I saw a map of it. So I freaked out the mail lady when I said I needed directions but then she calmed down when all I wanted to do was get to route 11. So I get back on the road and I can't find the gas station she tells me to get on. So I backtrack all the way to Harrisonburg because I knew that South High (or is it just South? Can't remember...) was Route 11. So I get on Route 11 there and when I go down farther on the road, I find that they are doing construction work on it!!! So I had to end up taking a detour following the signs. Well, the detour takes me back on Route 42. So I am all like, I was just on this road!!!!! I made sure to follow the detour signs and was back on route 11. So I'm going down route 11. Now, I did had a panic attack once because this sign was telling me to get off of Route 11 to get to Blue Ridge, but I kept going. So, I finally see the entrance sign for Blue Ridge and I go to park in the guest section. I walk in to turn in my application when the lady tells me that they were about to close in three minutes. Now, the amount of time this whole trip took (from Spotswood High to Blue Ridge) was an hour and half maybe. Maybe two hours. Not sure, but it took a long time! I definitely now my area better now. :)
