We've completed 390 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and are now camped at Lake Powhattan, a few miles from Asheville. What a great week of camping and hiking. Even though we had a goodly amount of rain, most of it was at night and didn't impact our hikes. Watching the fall leaf colors continue to get more vibrant as we traveled the week, was definitely the highlight!
All of our campsites were fabulous. Our favorite was Doughton Park where we had incredible views (and even a very level campsite). Linville Falls was another nice place to park BIW, and walks to the Linville Falls with all of the fall color was awesome.A highlight included our stop at the Blue Ridge Music Center where we listened to some live, blue ridge music....where the German Dolcimer and the African banjo come together to make great sound.
And today, we drove through really thick fog up at the highest point of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Craggy Garden near Mount Mitchell (elevation 6,684 ft). A white knuckle drive, but took it slow and found the sun breaks as we headed down to Asheville.
Another highlight.... the great apple pie that Ruthie made from the fresh apples we picked up along the way! Amazing what she can cook up in our RV kitchen.
