Driving several of the roads in Canton, GA we decided the Trace had spoiled us and rather than fight the construction and traffic we would head straight for the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The drive north took us through rolling hills that climbed to the base of the Smoky Mountains and eventually into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where once again Dad's driving skills were tested as we followed the Nantahala River on State Route 19.
For those of us not driving, we got to enjoy watching the (literally) hundreds of rafts and kayaks negotiate the white water of the Nantahala for several miles.
Arriving at the Fort Wilderness Campground around 4:00 I found a quiet corner to join a conference call while everyone else set up camp.
Dad and I managed to take the car into Cherokee and then up to the entry to the Blue Ridge Parkway where we hope to get back on our bikes tomorrow morning.
