I enjoyed a GREAT 270 mile day today (March 7, 2003). It wasn't raining or snowing and the temperature actually crept up to 60 by late afternoon. It's about damn time! I was even able to ride a short section of the Blue Ridge Parkway (From Cherokee to Maggie Valley) - sure looks different with out the foliage
Smokey Mountians National Park - Looking north from US441 on the Tennesse side between Gatlinburg and Cherokee
The NC side from Newfound Gap
Looking westward (TN) just north of Newfound Gap
