There is 22 mile long valley called Fort Valley where I used to condition Arabian horses for Endurance Races. It is like a "Little Switzerland." The valley is 22 miles long and 5 miles at its widest, with one road that enters from Edinburg and another through the Passage Creek Gorge.On the east side of the Massenutten Mountains deep in the national forest is a place called Indian Graves. I loved riding the horses with my trusted dog Willie around the Indian Graves. There are no graves as such but evidently there had been many years ago. There is a very peaceful feeling there and the forest is especially dark green with lots of mossy rocks, little springs, ferns and old, old trees. The view through the trees looks out over the valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Oh, what a feeling!
