We FINALLY got up the nerve to go somewhere. Hadn't done so since the COVID thing got going. We are too old to risk catching anything, let alone COVID!! But, we went and I must say the experience was quite different than it normally would be. Next time, maybe back to normal?

So, here are some photos on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. One of my personal favorite places to visit any time of the year, but especially in the Fall.

First stop: Mabry Mill

When Edwin Boston Mabry (1867-1936) built his water powered mill in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, he had no way of knowing it would become one of the most photographed places in the United States. The mill, on the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 176.1, draws several hundred thousand visitors each year. The gristmill and sawmill have been restored by park naturalists so visitors might see live exhibits, a real mill, and a working miller to demonstrate the milling process.

Great set of images!!!
Now is the time to go to these places, very few people around if any. Just keep your distance and wash your hands. I take my own food, that way I can keep my distance.

As a note to seniors: The Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Park, which means that if you have a Senior Pass ($80* one-time payment for a lifetime pass), you can drive the entire 469 miles for free.

*(The price was $10 until it was increased in 2016. Still, it's a one-time charge and gets you into every national park for nothing more. I gifted myself one on my 60th birthday because it was the best deal going!)


We just spent a week on the BRPKWY from Blowing Rock ,Asheville and Slyva. Although we have a National Parks Pass we didn't need it. There is no fee on the Blue Ridge Parkway, however, National Park Service Campgrounds along the Parkway do require a fee.

Nice photos of one of our favorite places. Glad you got the opportunity to see it this year, alas Florida is to far away for a casual trip, especially this year. Thanks for sharing.
