Blue Ridge Parkway ride for the scenic fall foliage

Today we took our cruise down the parkway for the fall foliage. We try to do it every year, but missed it last year. We just took a short cruise this time on the Blue Ridge Parkway from Roanoke down to The Meadows of Dan. It's not a long ride but there are many lookovers to stop at and spend some time, along with Mabry's Mill and Otis's store along The Crooked Road. Otis was a nice fellow who greeted us when we entered with an offer of a cup of coffee. He has a little something for everyone in there.





The foliage was not as brilliant as I expected yet, and I don't think it has peaked yet. Later this week to this weekend I think will be better.
