just_the_things90. Drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains in the autumn
I took a day off from work and drove to the north entrance of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I woke up early to start my day trip, but I forgot to take into account that I was running on "Makeroni Time," which means I felt compelled to stop at snarfs along the way. I had to keep making up rules for myself regarding what I was and wasn't allowed to stop for--otherwise I'd never make it there!
I ended up getting there around 11am (an hour later than I'd planned, due to snarfs, wrong turns, and traffic). I had two plans regarding how much to see on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The first had me bailing out after an hour; the second had me bailing out after three. I ended up doing the longer one, because I really, really enjoyed the drive. I ended up making it to 3 of the 13 visitor's centers along the way, I snarfed a few things from my car, I got out a few times to take photos at overlooks, and I even explored a few stops along the way.
