Blue Ridge Parkway

We stayed for several days at Mount Pisgah campground and then moved to Linville Falls campground. Both are on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parkway is very curvy but the roads to it can be much worse when you are in an RV and pulling a car. The elevation change either strains the motor or the brakes. The roads are small with a lot of overhanging tree branches. We’re only 11’ tall and we hit branches several times. The curves are scary since you can’t see what is coming and the lanes are narrow. There were times on the hairpin curves when we’re looking out the side windows slightly backward to see oncoming traffic. We survived, but it got the heart beating!

The campgrounds are very friendly. Just walking around the loop takes almost an hour because we kept stopping to talk to people. We heard the steep roads destroyed the transmission on one of the other RV’s in the campground.
