My bro and I took a few days and went up the Blue Ridge Parkway, over to Monticello and back. (there are also a few pics from the Cherohala Skyway). FWIW, I think the portion between Cherokee and Boone in NC is the most scenic.

I particularly liked the pictures that included views of golf courses and vacation homes which are becoming more and more omnipresent in the vicinity of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

There is a better Blue Ridge coming everyday (not)!

Beautiful. I agree that the southernmost 50-100 miles are the best. I've toured the entire BRP three times on my motorcycle. That's the way to travel on that road.

I hate the parkway. When I drive it I'm always in a hurry so I'm running like a raped ape down the hills and just about crash trying not to look at the overlooks. lol!

you should really try some Amodiam AD or some cheese on your trips, you wouldn't be in such a hurry ;)

hey, is that Mabry Mill in that one pic? my grandparents used to take us there all the time for picnics when i was a wee lass.

Yup, that's Mabry Mill and the pic before it is one of the flumes that feed it. They cook a mean cheeseburger in Meadows of Dan's lone restaurant just a mile south of the mill.
