Beautiful Blue Ridge Day

[motocrash]

Went for a little jaunt today,figured I'd share a few pics.

The ridge in the distance is Sleepy Creek WMA.22,928 acres.

Met this dude in the forest.He didn't say much,he was kind of a prick...

I chose one of my older scooters today.Old'un but a good'un,and six speed!

Hope you enjoyed the jaunt,I did.

I'm too old to ride that style anymore. I enjoy Space Truckin the Blue Ridge now.

Nice pics and beautiful country. We have friends that we visit in Moneta Va. and have been on the parkway a few times.

 

[Texas Jim]

I'm 2.27 miles west of the parkway. It's right pretty up here.

My parents lived in Moneta for ~ 15 yrs.Hell,I'm a Virginian and I take the BRP and Skyline Drive when I have the time.As the Man in Black say's: I've been everywhere, man.The Blue Ridge /Southern Appalachians are a special place.

@hillbilly jim and @motocrash. That part of the country is nice area. One morning when we were down there, my buddy and I were going, I believe, into Roanoke, and he said that we would take the parkway for a little stretch. I had seen the signs for the parkway, saw the ramps for the parkway (I thought the ramps were a little lame) and kept hearing about the parkway. I'm thinking what is the big deal about the parkway...I've been on the parkway in Pittsburgh Pa...................Two totally different parkways...I like yours much better!!!!!! :D

Here's a few pics from the past year,starting about this time.

Sept. 28th,2017. The Beaver is at dead center of pic in profile,facing right.

Same creek,Babbs Run,Jan. 7th,2018.The ice is 5" thick,we were exceptionally cold for a few weeks-highs in the low to mid teens.Turned the creeks and rivers into ice roads.Was fun riding quads where we normally kayak and canoe in the warmer months.

Mother Nature gettin' trippy o_O Brush Creek,Jan. 30.I call them ice bells.We had that cold spell,semi thaw and then another cold spell.

It's getting windy in spurts here now. FLO is on her way.

Up here at 3400 feet in elevation at my house the leaves are a changing. Still Grillin and Chillin in spite of Florence coming to visit. I did postpone my trip to go pick up my reverse flow smoker trailer until the end of the month because I didn't want to pull it back in torrential down pours. "She" was completed on 9-11-18 And will be called Lady Liberty.

Is that a DR350? Looks like my old toy.

 

[BigTurtle]

My new toy. Not a DR350 but probably a copy. Seems that there are lot of this style out there. It ain't the machine as much as the operator.
