One stop today on the Blue Ridge Parkway was Mabry Mill – a “museum” site of a Grist / Saw Mill that was abandoned in the 1930’s:
(Yes, not a MINI in sight!)

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway (Day 2)
Today, a later start (hooray!) and a very windy road to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway (which pretty well used up Margaret’s “twisty” allocation for the day!); soon after reaching the Parkway, we stopped at Moses Cone Manor, an amazing location for someone to put their home (in 3,600 acres!), with views like this!
After this stop, the Blue Ridge Parkway Tour planned a number of other stops, and a longish diversion for lunch – Margaret & I decided instead to drive our own way, getting to Roanoke somewhat earlier than the group and allowing some rest time; so, only GPMINI (and view) pictures …
Margaret & Ian on the Blue Ridge Parkway
Another beautiful day – both driving views and weather (after an overcast start); covered close to 200 miles again today!
Head over to GBMINI for more pictures from today, including Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mabry Mill
