Other than being hot, it was a perfect weekend for the members of The Shenandoah Valley Soaring Club to take to the skies over Nelson. SVS is an aircraft glider club. They held a get together in a big field owned by one of their member’s family, Hal Loken. Hal is also a glider pilot.
SVS has over 50 members and is based at Eagles Nest Airport in Waynesboro, VA. This past weekend members got the chance to have a little fun off of the airport by landing in Roseland at Hal’s place!.

The 1912 mansion built by the late millionaire, James H. Dooley, opened up this weekend to give folks a look inside the spacious mansion that straddles the Blue Ridge Mountains at the top of Afton Mountain. It took almost eight years for the construction to be completed. Our Paul Purpura headed up the parkway and grabbed a few shots from this weekend’s open house.
