Today, I went on a 3 hours round trip out of my way to pay my respect to the fallen souls of Flight 93.

The plane went straight on this path and crashed behind that fence at the spot marked with a bolder. All perished.

Next stop was to drive some of the Blue Ridge Parkway again and continue to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.
The Skyline Drive in Shenandoah Park is not as exciting as I thought. It is basically part of the Blue Ridge Parkway that they changed its name to Skyline Drive.
If you have...
First stop today was Natural Bridge State Park. Very nice view. Great weather and a one mile hike past the bridge ends in a waterfall. Not a spectacular waterfall, but a nice one to sit at and relax. Along the way there were 2 snakes intertwined with each other and it made for an attraction on...
Today I did my long drive from Pigeon Forge to Roanoke, VA. I did half of the drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is definitely a drive worth taking. So quiet and relaxing. Filled with twisty turns, sharp blind curves and some very steep inclines. I met some very friendly people too on the...
My last pictures of the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area yesterday, before I left today for Virginia.
Aerial shots of Gatlinburg and some random shots on the way back from Cades Coves.
Drove to Cades Coves today. Stopped along the way at a few pullout to take took some pics of nature.
When I left Cades Cove on my way back to Pigeon Forge through a short cut, I met this guy who got himself stuck. He was trying to make a uturn in a narrow road and backed up a bit too...
Today was driving through the park from Pigeon Forge to Cherokee and back.
And this is how quickly traffic forms when people see Elks on the side of the road.

There are 2 companies who take action shots of your car on the Tail of the Dragon. Thinking of ordering one of them and just had to post the pic from their website.

Next stop, Tail of the Dragon. Before I got there, I met this group of Mazda queuing to get on the road. So, I pulled over and let them go ahead of me. Well, all of a sudden they disappeared infront of me. Well, I decided to catch up so as to enjoy the twisties also. What a fun ride.

After Brasstown Bald, I hit the road for the Tail of the Dragon. Along the way, I drove pass this huge bike that caught my attention and I decided to go back to have a closer look.
I made a uturn and went to the bike shop. This bike is bigger than my car. I went in and asked the guy who looked...
Today, I left Georgia for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Before leaving Georgia, I decided to visit a hidden attraction in Georgia which is Brasstown Bald, GA. The highest point in Georgia. A really neat place to visit.
Currently driving North on I-65 in Alabama about 10 minutes from Montgomery when my car just turned 10,000 miles on odometer.
i have not done an oil change on this car since I bought it brand new 7 months ago. So it still has the factory filled oil and filter. Since the oil life is still...
I am sitting here at the Welcome to Florida rest stop in Florida after driving 7 hours straight through the night and just read your comment and had to laugh really hard. That was really funny.
Thanks about me enjoying the trip. It's been good so far.
Well, they said overlanding should not...

Thanks for that tip. I will look into a sleet box for sure. But for this trip, I will not be using my roof rack nor my roof rack basket. My roof will not have anything on it.
But I will be taking my magnetic led bar and my cb radio antenna as I have a cb radio and like to listen to truckers...
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I don't drink beer at all and do not like alcohol, but will attend wine tasting and try only very sweet wines since I do not like alcohol.
Linville Falls is on my itinerary and I plan to stop there. Thanks for confirming it is a good place to stop at.
And you...
