Monday we drove 400 miles from Fredericksburg, VA to Boone, NC. We had stayed with Rose’s friend Tamika in Fredericksburg and were heading to Boone to stay with another friend, Kelly for 2 nights. Along the way we tried to drive along skyline drive through Shenandoah National Park, but it was closed due to a recent snowfall. Later we stopped at the famous Foamhenge, a life size replica of Stonehenge, made from Styrofoam. Complete with a wizard to demonstrate one theory as to how it was made.
Once in North Carolina we drove the last 80 miles of the Blueridge parkway, this is where Rose took her first turn at driving the Jeep, she did well and I got a chance for a short nap. The weather was clear and cool great for driving. When we arrived we headed out for dinner, drinks and trivia at a local Pub with Kelly and some of her friends. The next day we headed out for a short 4 mile hike to the top of the 5520’ Elk Knob near Boone. Tomorrow I will drive Rose to visit a friend in Asheville while I head back to Greenville, SC for minor surgery on my ear to remove a cyst.
