There are lights embedded in the roadway but it still feels treacherous.
And it may not actually be fog, but the signs say so. Last time we went “over the hill” we could see a low lying cloud enshrouding the roadway, and then drove right into it.

I love to look long-range too

as we nod our mutual approval
of a magnificent Virginia view.
