Blue Ridge Parkway NP- North Carolina
Highway 221
We headed south this morning but not along the parkway this time. We got off on US-221, hoping to get ice and coffee at Grandfather Country Store but we were too early for that so we continued south along this road alongside the BRP. We were treated to the sight...
Among the Rhododendron
Moving north along the Blue Ridge Parkway, we left Linville Falls this morning and made it just a few miles to the Julian Price campground. Â Here we're finding ample shade and little sun for the solar panels so we've made the switch to a cooler for the food. We went...

Linville Falls

OUR VERY
LATEST
The Hidden London Tour
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Wicked The Musical
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
