Well about 125 or so miles again today but took about 5 hours to do it just couldn't stop well stopping on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

You know I have seen some thing in my life that I consider beautiful, topping the list is seeing my babies for the first time and seeing them set in my wife's arms was simply well lets just say it was just Love personified. 

I have seen my son graduate college my other son graduate high school. My sister graduate and even gave my sister away at her weeding. (what a honor) I have seen things traveling on my trips. I went on a long bike trip when I was just a kid but never took it all in like today. Jehovah is just amazing he gave us all of this!!!!!!! Look at the mountains they are a thing of beauty they took millions upon millions of years to complete and they are sitting there for us to enjoy. And enjoy James and I have. This is shear beauty god given beauty. North Carolina was nice enough to put a road through it so we can enjoy wow. Let me tell you its 70 or so miles from Cherokee, Nc. to Asheville, Nc but it took us hours to get to Asheville. I just couldn't help but to stop and see the sites. People were so nice truly they would come up and start talking to me and James about the bikes the sites everything. No thought of keeping to themselves. We met a  guy from St. Augustine Fl he was on a BMW R1100S (I think) he just bought it in New Mexico he went up through Co then came across Kansas at 110+ temps to get to the Blue Ridge he said that he likes these mountains better than Co??? I don't know I think I am just going to have to go see for myself but I digress. He came into the mountains was supposed to be home tomorrow but said he was having to good of a time and wasn't going to make it. Nice. Anyway it was only about 75 degrees today when moving but the sun is so hot at 5k feet still got burned (more sunscreen tomorrow). I know its obscene but I took 175 photos today and about 7 videos (digital doesnt count you can take 6k on my camera setting) I took so many my finger got tired. The videos were of the tunnels it was just so cool, your completely sun blind then go into a tunnel can't see a thing except the light at the end of the tunnel no pun intended... The sun is just bursting at the other end. Will have to write more later have to figure out where to go next. Jim

 James just hit 6000 miles we had to get a photo

Hope you enjoy the photos as much as i did taking them.
