Ikenberry Orchards, Daleville, Virginia

Botetourt County.  Those trees you see in the last photo are apple trees.

Botetourt County, Virginia

A pal of mine gave me the grand tour.  She’s entirely sweet about putting up with my touristy picture-taking.

Note the mighty bobcat that I bravely confronted.

Pictures absolutely cannot do this place justice.

WALKER LANE.

A friend of mine lives on this street in Salem, Virginia.

She says the rents are dirt cheap, but it sucks having to keep the windows boarded up to keep the zombies out.

Can you imagine if the cross street was named “Grimes Avenue?”  That would be F%*#ing EPIC.

Under the Wonju Street overpass in Roanoke SW, heading north.

Chestnut Street in Salem, Virginia.

Looking north past Main Street.  That church you see is First United Methodist.

Update: I asked my friends what kind of trees those are.  The consensus is that they’re cherry blossoms.

Union Street, Salem, Virginia

I’m a Yankee.  Sooner or later, I had to find myself on Union Street.

The house you see in the third and fourth photos has just GOT to be haunted.

And that giant sawed-off tree trunk would make an INCREDIBLE fortress for G.I. Joes.

A slightly unkempt and overgrown back lot … (Photo)

… in Salem, Virginia.  It had such character that I had to snap a photo.

This shot was taken from Calhoun Street; the front of the building is a storefront facing Main.
