Off we went, heading to Cherokee, NC where we are going to get on the Parkway. We took a twisted, turning awesome road to get there.
As we were going along this road for miles (about 75 miles) it also ran along a river. There were people parked along the road where they got out and were walking, and swimming in the water. there was one spot that the kids were diving in.
The water is so clean and clear. What do we do to it??? We really need to start taking care of what we have! It starts out perfect and we ruin so much of it.
Well, we make it to Cherokee http://bit.ly/qRN6cJ just in time for some gas & lunch. After we filled our tanks and our tummies we headed over to the Blue Ridge Parkway. http://1.usa.gov/pzF6nh
This ride was the most beautiful of them all. First we headed up the mountain, then the road takes you down a little, then back up. They also throw in 15, yes 15 tunnels. Dang.....they were ok, except the ones that you couldn't see the end. There was a tunnel called "The Devil's Courthouse" and an other called "The Big Witch Tunnel".
We make it to the highest elevation on the parkway.
I decided that the air is so thin up here that you can do anything stupid and blame it on thin air. So I am bringing the thin air down with me and that's my story!
We headed on down the mountain and on to find a hotel for the night. That trip took about 3 hours and we ended up in Morganton, NC. We travel about 300 miles today but it was such a twisted and turning route it seemed like 500. Loved every mile of it.
Today was a better day then yesterday. It is amazing how the universe works. But its is always there for us, we just have to listen.
Wish you were here.
