We love the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Wow, what a great trip up the parkway today. North out of Asheville to Mt. Mitchell (the top of the World) a perfect 72 degrees on the mountains with purple rhododendron blooms, brilliant orange flame azaleas,  and mountain laurel floral sprays the envy of any florist.
Our Blue Ridge Parkway overlook guide worked like a charm on our droid with the PDF download.

  3. TODAY IS THE DAY! thankyou Mel Fisher for showing us what persistence is! Wow what a great day I just finished the image edits for the last 2 Parkway overlooks.Now off to the IT Dept.to be site published(Renae is a human dynamo)! We Have traveled thousands of miles and scores of trips up and down the Parkway looking for clear weather windows allowing us to capture the pictures for this project.Stiched and edited and labelled countless images.Poured over all the maps and references we could find and burned the midnight oil to produce this website.We delight to share the results of our labor and we know as we have long known there is no place more beautiful than the mountains and valleys along the beautiful winding ribbon of road designated The Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway turned 75 years old this year and we offer heart felt thanks to President Franklin Roosevelt and all the people responsible for the creation of this resplendent motorway also all those who have preserved and protected it since. the Blue Ridge Parkway project was started at an austere time in our nations history known as the GREAT DEPRESSION with ingenuity and strong resolve. I hope the during this current GREAT RECESSION our leaders and the people of this great nation find this same level of resolve to care for this piece of national legacy and all the other pieces throughout out our National Parks,Monuments and Public Lands. We do hope you all are fortunate enough to find yourself enjoying the Parkway and we hope the information we have compiled adds to the pleasant adventures the Blue Ridge Parkway offers.
