Last month, Trudy and I embarked on a 2-week road trip through a portion of the Blue Ridge mountains. We drove our trusty Subaru Forester north along the Blue Ridge Parkway from milepost 199 at Fancy Gap, NC to milepost 0 at Rockfish Gap, VA, then continued north along the entire 105 miles of the Skyline Drive to its northern terminus at Front Royal, VA.

September the color was f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c,
with a million shades of green.

The many diverse rock formations, like
these along the Fort Windham Rocks Trail,
(Skyline Drive milepost 10) are another
intriguing aspect of the Blue Ridge.

The gurgle of mountain streams as well as
the roar of waterfalls are like the Sirens
song, so irresistible there is no escape.
