Drove to Mt Pisgah for lunch, always a favorite! Great food and views. More

Unfortunately me and my wife only spent a day driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway but it one of the highlights of our holiday. It seems that every corner that you turn there is another picture postcard view. We were staying in Asheville at the time so were towards the bottom end of the Parkway. Along the way we stopped...
