Some photographer took this of us on a lookout on the beautiful Blueridge Mountain Parkway.
Another picture from the parkway.
We get to the parking lot for the summit to find out it is closed!!!! On top of this there is a ranger truck right at the trail head with the caution tape and backhoe. For a while we think it is one of the guys walking around in the parking lot. We hang around for a while and most people leave and I convince Becki to sneak up to the top with me. We traveled too far to turn back now.
You can see here the top isn't far from the parking lot.
Shhhh, they might hear us.
This is the summit pose. Isn't nature wonderful with gravel, rebar, concrete forms, heavy construction equipment?
On the way out of the park Becki caught a nice sun set. We had planned on camping in the park, but we were really hungry, without food, and the restaurant in the park had already closed. We got a little lost trying to leave the park and follow the Google Map directions. We were supposed to turn on right on "Old Railroad Grade". No surprise this wasn't a road that could be traveled by car. We had no choice but to head back to Asheville, NC. Fortunately my parents were staying in Asheville so we called them up and stayed in their room.
