Perfect Day

Today will be awfully hard to beat. A total of only 43 miles, all on the Blue Ridge Parkway with its Fall colors. The weather was great (sunny mid 70s). With two hikes - one under an engineering marvel, the other above a river and waterfall. Lunch at a deli in the mountains and tonight a campsite for a whopping 8 bucks. Hey, it's tough out here on the road.

The Linn Cove Viaduct is a 1,243-foot concrete segmental bridge (the first built in the USA) which snakes around the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina and is part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
