While the suckers at sea level were dealing with 100+ temps, I made it down in a couple of days from NY to TN, partly on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was amazing --- no traffic, no speed traps, no nothing but amazing alpine scenery and curves.
I spent the night camping out on Mt. Rogers in SW Virginia, and then took the final freeway blast across to west TN. About to head back today, planning to stay in the Townsend, TN area and then get up early to ride the tail (and maybe the back) of the dragon before heading back to the congested pothole nightmare of the northeast!
WhipE350 -- thanks for the invite, although it's looking as if I'll be cutting north before Charlotte.
Chris Zang -- sorry, my mistake, I WAS sleepy!
Mountainman -- thanks for the recommendations, hopefully I'll be in your region before dark today!
Watch this thread for more pics from the road from the next couple of days.
