After four days of going up and down the Blue Ridge Parkway i feel a little blown besides it was 30 degrees this morning and i just did not feel like climbing back onto the ridge for a few more thousand feet of climbing in the damp to camp in the rain . . . wow i am really making this sound like fun . . . The parkway has been beautiful (50's sunny) and totally empty (no bespectled grannies) however all the facilities are shut down including water which means every time i need anything i have to drop off the ridge. However, if you are on the parkway in summer it is a madhouse of campers and families determined to have fun, damn it!
Boone is a hip college mountain town with lots of hairy dudes, muffin tops, beer, healthy food, and outdoorsy goodness . . . you know the sort of thing that make you want to buy a cheap fifth, get a pack of smokes, sit on the corner and heckle. . . well maybe not but i think i am over hip. Boone a good place to hang and strap on the feed bag.I'll be in Asheville NC by Tuesday to hang with Ian Baldwin for a couple days then start truckin' towards the flat south and big bass country.
