 Okay,
so this is US 33 EB in Harrisonburg, VA, where we spent 2 nights at $100 a
night. This is the city in which James Madison University is located
so there are plenty of amenities. |
 Some
amenities. |
 An
interesting overhead assembly on US 33 EB. |
 US
33 remains a 4-lane road in terrain that is more conducive to 2-laners. |
 Continuing
on EB US 33. |
 As
if you needed proof of US 33's existence in central Virginia. |
 Three
types of shields all in one assembly! |
 Margot
was under the impression that I wanted a picture of every single secondary
highway shield in the state, so this is just one of many hundreds that she
took. |
 This
is some miles later... believe me I skipped a couple photographs between the
last one and this one. |
 This
was a pretty nice ride. |
 Although
at 55 m.p.h., it was also pretty tedious at times. |
 Traffic
cameras are ready to catch unsuspecting motorists who choose to run red
lights. |
 A
weird, dinky little US 33 shield. |
 There's
even a business US 33 in Elkton. There are other business routes in
other towns, too, on old alignments of US 33. |
 US
340 gets its own exit. |
 US
33 is getting into some pretty hilly territory soon. |
 Kinda
pretty, no? Last shot before the mountains. |
 In
the mountainous section, US 33 goes down to 2-lanes, three if you count the
passing lanes on the inclines. |
 Alright,
so there are passing lanes on the declines, too! |
 The
trees in late September were just starting to yellow a little teeny bit.
This part of the road crosses the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge
Parkway. |
 Whoa
there, there must be a high accident rate on this stretch because there is
an old rusty guardrail along this S-curve. |
 The
speed limit was still 55 (with slowdowns for the curves) but this truck felt
that 25 m.p.h. was better than the posted limits. |
 The
two-lane portion was kinda curvy! |
 If
you look closely in the background, you can see where US 33 is about to
become a 4-lane road again. Then I can finally pass this loser! |
 Yeah,
right here. |
 Stanardsville
gets a business route, as well. |
 More
cloudy scenes on US 33 EB. |
 I
actually used this photo for my photography class my fall semester 2006.
The professor said it was a pretty good pic, except he'd like it to have
more layering. For instance, I could have had part of my side mirror
in the frame. |
 US
29 is coming up. US 29 is a lot like US 33 in character in central VA. |
 Kinda
old-timey, ain't it? |
