Day 63 – Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia Part 2)

Day 63 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

The dogs and I returned to the Blue Ridge Parkway near the border of Virginia and North Carolina. We made two stops on the Parkway, Smart View and Mabry Mill, before jumping off to visit Eastern Tennessee.  Reader’s Digest explains the names of each stop fit the description mountain folk applied ages ago.

Day 62 – Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia)

Day 62 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Today the dogs and I started down the Blue Ridge Parkway which connects to the south end of Skyline Drive which I completed last week. The drives, similar in scenery, were quite different in other ways. Skyline Drive passes through a National Park where a toll booth marks a limited amount of entry and exit points.  I believe there were three in total. As such, the Skyline Drive area is more pristine.
