An Excellent Motorcycle Adventure! Day 35!
A sublime trip through the Blue Ridge mountains, but in a demonstration of the principle of “conservation of misery” we pay for it at the end of the day with a trip to the purgatory of Lynchburg VA.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is… Sublime!
A quick return to Purgatory on the road to Lynchburg VA…
Downtown Lynchburg VA is a hoax! It’s like Twin Falls ID, there’s no “there” there!
