I debated whether my pictures should go into here or in the camping forum. We didn't actually camp, but our B&B didn't have cable, so my daughter said it was the same.

If you have never been to Grandfather mountain. You owe it to yourself to get there once.

We drove the Blueridge Parkway and stopped to hike and picnic:

It was tough paddling on those rock trails up to the mile high bridge:

But the views are worth the effort:

And you had better not step outta line, or you will answer to THE MAN:

Looks like a good trip and some decent weather for it. Good move on your part having the wife carry the backpack most of the time. :wink:

I noticed that the couple crossing over the swinning bridge were wearning long sleves , it makes me wish that it would cool down around here. Plus I should have known that you would find a gray bar motel on your trip. :roll:
