Roanoke, Va to Robinsonville North Carolina
200 more miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It continued to be one of the highlights of the trip. Beautiful mountain valleys with views of the great smokey mountains. We had to get off at Asheville for more fuel and decided that we would not do the final stretch of the parkway. So it was off on other roads to find Deal's Gap and the Tail of the Dragon stretch of road. When we got to Robinsonville, it was late enough that we decided to stay there and do the really crooked stretch of the road first thing in the morning. We stayed at the Phillips Motel there, an approved place for bikers. I would say of the motels in town, at least half if not two thirds of the guests were riding motorcycles. Animal wise, I did see a very nice 4 point buck at the side of the road in the parkway.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteThanks for these update. Asheville is the closest airport, if Evergreen state visitors want to visit Montreat, a fabled Presbyterian church camp. I think this trip will make you the most travelled Synod moderator.
