Back to the Smokies

2017 New England, Road Trip

Plans change. We thought we would drive the entire Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway but instead we’re headed to the house to drop the trailer tonight and catch an early morning flight to Texas to be with family. Back in 1975 the two of us planned to drive the entire Skyline/Blue Ridge and stopped early when we realized we wouldn’t have enough time to do it justice. Here’s to hoping our third attempt, hopefully in the relatively near future, will be successful. For now though our Summer Ramble is on hold.

It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
