Blue Ridge Parkway - By Akumu

As a whole the rode is amazing, but to be real, the parts are in North Carolina. Virgina has good 'cross over' roads that go up and over the ridge, but just by virtue of elevation the NC BRP is even better. (Not that you shouldn't go if you can only make VA.) Up and down this road a bit, and I've never seen a cop, but hear they do hang around the city areas of the road. October is, of course, the best time to go, but it's probably the most crowded, as well. Last thing - This road has it's own climate. It doesn't matter what it's doing on the road below, chances are always fair that it's going to be cold and rainy.
