Toe River Road to Blue Ridge Parkway

We bounced in Piggy up the gravel Toe River Road to the Parkway then to Mt. Mitchell. It was less that 40 degrees on Mt. Mitchell with some sleet. In Charlotte it was 60 something. As we have done several times in the past we ate at the little restaurant on 226 just off parkway. You can see Mt. Mitchell from the balcony. (This is also where Mr. Bob and I meet Ladley Burn who lives near here on Humpback Road. Now scattered we all came from the Center Of The Known Universe.)








Ocracoke - Fall - 2013

Ocracoke is an irregular town with no straight lines and many unexpected levels.
