Day 15 - 7/27 - Blue Ridge Day 2

It's late and we are hoping to get an earlier start tomorrow so I'm going to post more pictures and write less today.

We covered a little over 20 miles today, more than twice as many as yesterday, but less than we hoped for. Climbed about 3,500 feet today vs. over 5,000 feet yesterday. Tomorrow we expect to reach the highest point on the Parkway at just over 6,000 feet.

Today's photos include several of the flowers we are seeing as we travel (at Vicki's request)...if any of you can help identify them please do.

We are having a great time, the views are spectacular, the hill climbs are satisfying and the downhills are exhilarating. Once again my thanks for all your emails and comments, please forgive me for not always responding but the days simply get away from me out here on the road;)
