Tomk17-

Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge parkway are nice and I would recommend May over June, but fall is typically the best due to fall foliage. This year the colors are pitiful due to drought.

Weekdays are better due to lack of traffic. Most of the parkway is 35 or 45 mph and is more for leisurely cruising vs. thrashing like at Tail of the Dragon. There are also occasional speed traps.

Several websites for B&B's out there and wineries, etc.

I'd be up for setting up a 986forum run there with an overnight sometime with you guys like at TOD.
