Blue Ridge Parkway
This afternoon I drove just over 100 miles or so on the Blue Ridge
Parkway. I entered in North Carolina, just before the Virginia border.
Then exited at Roanoke, VA.
opportunities to stop directly on the Parkway. It's a very narrow two
lane road with few scenic overlooks. Inexplicably, at most of the
so-called scenic overlooks the horizon is completely blocked by a line
of trees directly in front of the parking area. Why they don't trim
these back, I don't know. It's not like they are just letting the
earth along the roadway grow wild. Despite that issue, the drive itself is beautiful and some day I hope
to come back and do the full drive -- which will take a few days to do
properly. Here's a few of my favorite pictures from the day. I still
have some Georgia photos to post as well, but they can wait for
tomorrow.
