Day 1

We are in Boone, NC tonight. Tomorrow we are heading on up the parkway into Virginia.



The pictures speak for themselves. The Blue Ridge Parkway is spectacular! The land and roadway are part of the National Park system so most of the time there are no unsightly man made structures. Old growth trees form a canopy over the road and the leaves are turning and beautiful.

Cabin

Life isn't easy out here on the road. Living out of a duffle bag or other luggage, finding a place to lay your head is tough. Fortunately one of us men was able to charm the young lady at the local hotel where we had reservations into giving us this cabin for the same price as two regular rooms. Yep, its rough out here on the road. :-)

On the Parkway

We left Mrs Dennis' house around 10:30, at a quick bite of breakfast and rode up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are grabbing another bite of food. I know, we are eating a lot. It's mostly Mike's fault. Its a bit rainy this morning. Overcast and drizzling but dry for the most part. Not too bad, could be worse. We will get on the Parkway right up the road and head toward Boone, NC.

Butch and Catreena Mom and Dad say hello . Catreena we hope your day improves! :-)
