On the Blue Ridge Parkway, most of the overlooks look the same.

Even so, here are my obligatory shots.

I stopped at the Mingus Grist mill in the Smokey Mountains

It was a major hike of about 200 yds, but I made it in less than an hour!

A shot from my first rest stop.

Almost there

This one is driven by a turbin instead of a water wheel

Excess water is spilled back into the stream

So peaceful riding through the enchanted forest of the Smokey Mountains.

I went to the wheels through time museum. I won't comment on these pictures.

Tom is a very good guitarist but he doesn't sing

Bill on the other hand can make up a song as he plays.

Our farewell dinner

My diet goals were not met.........again!

My fun goals were. So ends another rally. I begin the 2000+ miles ride home in the morning.
