Day 4
Thurs 28th June South Virginia/ North North Carolina
Try to find Pinnacles of Dan but the route takes us through narrow steep country roads before rocking out so we abort and turn around.
Weird silent aircraft fills sky briefly. The one that checks your speed. Rejoined Parkway and trucked on through North Carolina towards Linville Falls, supposedly one of the best sights on this scenic drive.
Found Grandfather Mountain and decided to drive up it. Bottled out at the last carpark before the summit when the truck strained then threatened to go down backwards and I took to the footpath in lightning and heavy rain.
Looked out over the country from a very high suspension bridge during a brief lull then cadged a lift back to the truck for a towelling and a hot cup of tea. George got very lost taking us to Linville Falls so Lisa took arcane directions to an RV park from a good ole boy. Parked next to a Class A who advised me on connecting directly to a sewer hook-up. Slimy work. Looked forward to a good swim in the pool but forgot to pack trunks. German kids dressed as Cherokees lurking with bows and arrows. 13-14mpg.
