DAY 10 JUNE 11, 2013

Left the motel in Dublin headed up to Roanoke for gas then it was back on the Blue Ridge for mile after mile. This is definitely one of the premier motorcycle roads in the US; I would ride this every week if I lived anywhere near here. The entire day was spent in shirtsleeves with temps in the 60’s under partially cloudy skies and very little traffic. Managed to burn thru an entire tank of gas leaning back and forth mile after mile.

BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY



SKYLINE DRIVE
 

After a nice lunch finished the Blue Ridge and moved onto the Skyline Drive we are about forty miles in before stopping for the night. Weather permitting hope to finish it tomorrow then head north at a quicker pace for Maine.

The pictures are very similar and without captions would be impossible to tell apart reminding me of an old Richard Harris song "Slides" when he shows his slides to a high school class

Sunset, another sunset
I know it looks indistinguishable
from the last
but I remember the difference
Tony Romero

Onward north tomorrow.

Most of our day was spent indoors in a comfortable 70's temperature at a children's museum with LOTS of kids including your 3 grandkids. The rest of the day was spent in the pool trying to ignore the usual Phoenix temp of 110+ in June...

Braxton loves the pics and asks for "More! More! More!" When we talk about Papa, he says, "Cycle ride." Hard to imagine how great it is to ride through that beautiful scenery! Have fun!

Love you!
