“Life is a journey, not a destination” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Blue Ridge Parkway is that rare stretch of amazing motorway along the spine of the southern Appalachians that allows someone like me to do exactly what I enjoy most. Namely motorcycle riding, hiking, exploring & photography all in one shot. It’s an uninterrupted 469 mile long, black top, shock & awe campaign that can touch your soul, if you slow down and let it. There are countless pull offs, overlooks, hiking trails, waterfalls and wonders of nature to see both right on and just off the parkway. My motto is “Ride hard & stop often!”. I try to remember Emerson’s words above to remind myself that life is in fact a journey and its that journey or experiences we have along the way that defines us. If we’re in a rush to get to our destination we tend to miss out on so much along the way.

With that being said I took the day off work....(to read more go HERE)

Hey I'd love to visit your Greek Isles someday. You guys have an awesome coastline from what I've seen pictures of!

Nice Write Up...it's always great to read about all of the places we miss when we are riding!
Thanks. Yeah that's kind of my point, why miss so many places just because your on a riding trip? Can't see everything but it's nice to pick out a at least a handful of spots each day to check out.

I appreciate that. Nature and the sights have a way of being inspirational on its own. We just have to stop and let it have a positive effect on us.

Good stuff... I'll be following along vicariously until I can get out there myself!
