A 1982 Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

 

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a great ride and is the destination of many motorcyclists.  If you have not ridden any length of it, I would recommend it. 

This trip started in Seaman, Ohio (located south of Hillsboro) in early October 1982.  The principal route was east across US 50 into Virginia to jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway at it's beginning.  We ventured the entire length of the parkway ending up in Gatlinburg, TN.
