A few more shots from the ride home - the flower-covered meadow above was near Boone, NC.

One more shot of the viaduct near Grandfather Mountain.

June 6, 2009: That was all the stuff from the trip to Virginia, but I'll throw in these photos from a ride over the Cherokee that Jon and did this past weekend. This shot is from the Cherry Cove overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway, with the granite cliffs of Looking Glass Rock in the valley below.

Jon and his green Vee by the Parkway near Mt. Hardy.

Another shot from the highest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Richland Balsam.

And one last shot from late in the evening as I headed home along the Parkway. This shows the Nantahala Mountains marching off to the western horizon.
