My baby - and my car - on the Parkway near Mt. Pisgah south of Asheville. You live for days like this as a Porsche owner.



Usually this time of year the parkway is a motor home parking lot, a 250 mile long traffic jam of vacationers going 25 mph and slowing down for the corners. But looks like $4.00/gal gas has cleared up that problem! At 10 am on a beautiful Saturday morning we shared the road with a few cars (including a group of MGs and Triumphs) and a lot of Harleys.

Nothing like the open road. I like to leave the girl home, She has to Pee every 25 miles <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mellow.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

The only thing wrong with the BRP is the 45mph speed limit. Very very hard to keep the car at or under that number up there on the ridge. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I have a picture from that very spot that was taken a couple of years ago. The wife and I went to Asheville for our anniversary to do the Biltmore thing. We left Asheville around 12:00 on July 3rd and it was 92 degrees and climbing. When we got up to the top of the Blue Ridge it was 58 degrees; Unbelievable! It makes a great ride with the top down, and there are a few swimmin' holes worth checking out if they're not too crowded.

Actually, just cruising when there is little traffic was quite fun. Stopped a lot to check out the views and enjoy the beautiful weather.



Plus - I had gotten my speed/mountain curves fix the afternoon before, climbing NC 226 from I40 at Marion to Little Switzerland... a secret road favored by those in the know traveling to and from the Tail of the Dragon. I have been meaning to send it to Winding Road. My wife handled the adventure well, only yelling at me once or twice. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
