Road trip coming up.

[thetable]

I am planning on doing a nice little road trip of the Blue Ridge Parkway next week. I some use or lose leave at work, so I decided I would use it. Planning on doing the Parkway from end to end at no particular pace, just out riding and having a good time.

Which leads me to my main question, what are the DO NOT MISSes along the way?

As a side question, what am I going to forget to take with me that I am going to get halfway through my trip and realize, I probably should have brought?

Blue Ridge Side Trip

Near the south end of the Blue Ridge you'll also find the Cherohala Skyway. It's a gorgeous drive while you're in the neighborhood!

When I was in the area, locals all told me they actually preffer the CS over the BRP, especially in times of high traffic.

Just a thought!

Actually, good excuse to invest in a Canon SD1000 or SD750 -- which can be set to time-lapse mode and take a shot every second or every other second for a couple hours at a pop.

MA?

KatSoldier, is that New Bedford, MA by chance???

Over the past couple years I've spent quite a bit of time between New Bedford & Raynham doing engineering work for DePuy/ J&J.

Pretty area, in the summertime at least!

Im going up to gatlinburg 2 weeks from today and I am making a special trip to the skyway. Since no kids are going I am planning on getting alot of riding in.

Well, I'm back, and I will post a full ride report before too long. The one thing I am sure of is that next time I will not leave home without a Corbin. By the time I got home, I could not ride more than two hours without getting off. I have lots of pics too.
