Day 1 of BRP

Left Staunton this morning and hopped on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  


Was a balmy 39 degrees when we started.  So glad I got that balaclava and gloves.   Woulda froze otherwise.  It is almost June, right?  I wasn't thinking I needed to dress for September.  Lot of the visitor centers are still closed, like the one at James River.  We did see a fawn not long after leaving there crossing the road.  Thing was TINY, couldn't have been more than a couple feet tall.  We did stop at Peaks of Otter. 


We stopped off at Mabry Mill too.  No pics of the bike there this time, too crowded.  But we did wander around. 


Yep, thats a still....

We also stopped at a cabin that was open.  Was kinda cool.  Didn't do any scenic overlook stops really. Fair amount of traffic during the afternoon.  Several stupid cagers driving slow or drifting off the road.  But not a bad day over all.  335 miles today.   518 total.
