Cruising Down The Blue Ridge Parkway!

This time of year it is a perfect time to see the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you travel West of Charlottesville Virginia on Hwy 64, you can get on at the top of the mountain.

There is a fantastic bridge you go under just before you get on the Parkway.

There will be a lot of motorcycles this time of year, so please use caution.

This is Afton Overlook, almost 1100 feet above the Valley Floor.

What a view, to the left is Albemarle County and to the right is Nelson County.

Take some time and take a drive, it is well worth it!

Oh yes and bring a camera!

BTW: I have a fantastic "referral agent" in Nelson County
(but that is another story)

Cjarles, you are closer than we are, but the extra hour it takes us is well worth the trip.  We, of course, go south on 29 and across through Sperryville - I am sorry we will not make it this year, Karen

HI CHARLES - If I didn't already live in Charlottesville, I'd move there based on your FANTASTIC pictures alone!  But I am curious, why are there so many motorcycles this time of year?  For fall foliage??
