The Drive Home

I always find the drive itself to be part of the adventure.  If I have the time on the way home I’m always looking to scout out a new destination, find a place to put up my hammock, enjoy a view, or continue exploring.  Here are a few photos from the drive home from my most recent trip to Virginia.  Much of the time we followed the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The first stop we made was at Linville Falls.  I had been to the Linville Gorge Wilderness area, but had never stopped at the top to see the falls….until this trip.

Here are some shots from the parkway where the beautiful fall colors had just started coming out.  The clouds were constantly rolling through, covering and then exposing the amazing views.

We stopped for one night and camped at Mt. Pisgah campground.  It was a beautifully clear night and I laid down by the fire and stared off into the Milky Way for a long time.   What’s even better is I got to snuggle up with this guy…

 

The last day of our drive home we caught some more views.

 

And then stopped by the Chattooga River to stretch our legs a bit.
