Arnold Sinko Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi everyone, If you ever get a chance to check out the blue ridge parkway in North Caroline do it. I think it is one of the nicest places on earth. Make sure to see chimney rock park more info here blueridgeparkway.org. Have a safe and fun trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRidgeMike Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi Arnold, The Parkway runs right along my county border. I drive sections of it many times over the course of the year, including just to go up there at night and star gaze. I've driven the entire route once. The North Carolina and Virginia sections are very different, but both very beautiful. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Welcome, Arnold. You've definitely identified a cool road. I've only driven the whole thing (along with Skyline Drive) once but I've managed short sections a few other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burr - hester_nec Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I have driven it several times - but I think the best was the time, back around 1965, I drove it early, early in the morning - like starting at 6AM. No traffic, tons of local "residents" (4-legged kind) and so quiet and peaceful. Hudsonly, Alex Burr Memphis. TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfan26917 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Welcome, Arnold! I've been to Chimney Rock, but only as a kid. I need to get back there. The Blue Ridge Parkway is another one of the roads on my "some day" list....
