The Blue Ridge Parkway South

Another wonderful day. The Blue Ridge Parkway south of Asheville is a haven away from trucks, traffic lights and advertising hoardings. The speed limit is generally 45mph which is fine especially the further south you go and the road becomes a series of sweeping bends, ideal for the motorcyclist of which there were many enjoying themselves today unlike the poor boys on their Harley two-wheel tractors. They don't know what to do when they encounter bends, they were weaving, wallowing and wandering about the road at an average speed of 30mph.
The Parkway is the ideal jumping off point for many sights and attractions but I had covered some of those yesterday so I headed for the town of Cherokee to visit the Museum of the Cherokee Indian and what a two and a half hour eye-opener that was. I would have liked to visit the Oconaluftee Indian Village but I ran out of time, maybe next visit. See http://visitcherokeenc.com

The photos cannot do the scenery justice, you will have to come and look for yourselves.
