Road North for Fall Crawl
Hello All
As many of you know, I will be on the road again. This time heading north to Sturbridge MA for the Fall Crawl Rallye and visiting with Allen and Lisa (my son and his wife).
Below is my general itinerary:
9-28-2010 - Going north no I-95 to I-26 and the Asheville area, where I will pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) and staying at the Pisgah Inn. Looking forward to driving the BRP since this will be my first time. Hopeing the change has started for the fall colors.
9-29-2010 - Early start on the BRP north into Virginia
9-30-2010 - Finishing the BRP and picking up I-64 and I-81 into PA
10-01-2010 - Continuing on the Auburn MA arriving sometime during the day. Then checking in with the Fall Crawl Group and dinner with them.
10-02-2010 - Fall Crawl Group Drive
10-03/05-2010 - Allen, Lisa, and myself will tour VT (Ben & Jerry's), NH (LL Bean), MA (lobster rolls on the coast), and return to Auburn.
10-06-2010 - Spend day with son, and prep for return to FL.
10-07/10-2010 - Heading home basically the same way up, but will start the northern portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway heading south pick up I-77 through Charlotte to I-26, and I-95 home.
I will try and post up each night. Till the next post, Vic

Hi to Everyone
Day 1 - 09282010
I was not able to transmit the 28th, The Pisgah Inn did not have WiFi and my Air Card could not make a connection.
Well on the driving day - I left home about 0930a on Tuesday, Several things needed to be taken care of before I could leave the area. Then once on the road I ran into rain starting just north of Palm Coast and lasted all the way to Brunswick GA. Once out of rain drove I-95 to I-26 getting off at Inman SC. Picking up US-176 to Henderson SC, the road was a lot of fun with twists and turns and very litte traffic. Merging on to NC-64, again a great road to drive. Picked up US-276, with a good country road. This took me onto the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP), by the time I arrived at the Pisgah Inn on the BRP it was 7:30. Had dinner at the Inn Restaurant. Looking forward to driving the BRP tomorrow.

Day2_09292010 - Blue Ridge Parkway
Well I woke up to being fogged in. You literaly could not see more that 20 feet in front of you. I could not even see the car from the room window and the mountain view room I paid for was a totaly waist. I had a nice country breakfast at the Inn's restaurant. By 0930a the fog started lifting, but was still pretty thick. I started at mile marker 410 on the southern end of the BRP, it was hard to see, so had to drive with caution. Around noon time it got to a point to be able to drive and take pictures. Only to start raining with in a hour, so not the roads are slick from the rain. About 4:30, I departed the BRP. There was no way that I could make it to my sons in MA by Friday at the rate I was haveing to travel. it was a good choice, I took US-321 tp Boone NC, then on to US-421, to TN-91 in Mountain City TN, wich connects with I-81. Once on I-81 I stopped in Chilhowe VA where I called it a night a 7:00p.
According the workers the height of color is approximately 2-3 weeks away.
