Wednesday 21st October....The Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia....

Frosty overnight and a beautiful blue sky morning...I've included this pic only because it is a most unusual sight to see a field of sheep in the USA  and along with the rolling hills around our campsite it's all very "English"....
Today we drive 28 miles from our campsite at Fort Chiswell up onto the Blue Ridge Parkway and a revisit of a stretch of Parkway we first  drove in 2010 when we hired the motorhome...
This area of the Blue Ridge is dotted with farms and homesteads...it's not as dramatic as nearer to Asheville but it is very pretty...
We stopped off along  the Parkway for a revisit to the Blue Ridge Music Centre a museum and arts centre built for the preservation of bluegrass and mountain music....as well as holding scheduled outdoor concerts there is also live music everyday from noon to 4pm...

The 469 mile parkway crosses into North Carolina...
"I see no ships" !!.....our lunch sandwich picnic table....
The stunning view from our lunchtime picnic table....
Beautiful autumn colours...it was spring when we visited in 2010 with the azaleas and rhododendrons in full bloom... 
And lastly for today :)
Tomorrow we move another 300 miles south to Lake Keowee South Carolina....
Until the next post...
The "Bluesy" Campers....
