Our second day of travel from Asheville to Woodbridge, Virginia allowed us to enjoy two special parks that provided more history than hiking. Even though we had quite a few hours of driving to get to our next overnight stay, we didn’t rush. We wanted to experience all we could...
Monday evening we arrived in Woodbridge, Virginia after travelling from Asheville over a three-day period. Our itinerary included several of the more well-known parks along the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). Here are the three we visited on Saturday. Grandfather Mountain We checked out of our Asheville home around 9am and...
While Dale was toiling away at home I took the opportunity to go back to the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove. We had attended a dinner and concert there one Sunday evening which I wrote about here. I went back to get a better look at the chapel...
For our last Saturday adventure in Asheville we headed 27 miles southeast to Chimney Rock State Park.

Our home is above the garage of a nice home on a narrow residential street in Asheville. The property owners have invested a lot of time and effort into the landscaping. We have a great view from our balcony of the beautiful yard and adjacent wooded area. We are located...
