LURAY, Virginia - November 12, 2018 - When Caroline, Penny and I were out and about shopping and exploring today when came upon this local jewel, nicknamed Luray's 'New Front Porch'. It is a combination biking and walking path that includes a small river, and bird sanctuary(we saw a great blue heron!) that here in Virginia is a called a creek. Another awesome outing on our trip west!
