The Blue Ridge Parkway is a drive that stretches from TN, across NC, up to VA. We live very close to a major stretch of it, there are many hikes leading from the parkway. It is a unit of the National Park System, but is covers a vast area.

Loved your "flirty" butterfly and that Git 'R Done dude was a kick. He sure has a lot of work. Is that a state park? I can't imagine that it's private property with groomed trails. What a remarkable four hours you had so close to home.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284241026724648942.post-72128593870065057282008-08-14T11:01:00.000-04:002008-08-14T11:01:00.000-04:00Wow - these are AMAZING!
