Daniel Boone

Today was to be a short 200 mile day, almost all of which would be on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We woke up to light rain and then watched it get heavier. It was Linda's turn to be the optimist saying it was only temporary. She was right and we were soon on our way dressed for heavy weather which thankfully never happened. There is nothing unique to report today, just another day in paradise. We did see an old mill that has a working waterwheel and I had to severely test my brakes when a car decided to make an unexpected turn. That got Linda's attention and mine also. I actually squealed the front tire. We had a nice breakfast at Tuggle's Gap restaurant. We are in the south now and Clint and Charleen are noticing the accents here. We arrived at Boone, North Carolina this afternoon earlier than we normally stop. The weather looked promising so Linda and I decided to camp at the KOA. Our decision was helped by the motel that quoted us one price on the phone and a higher price when we arrived so we left. ~200 miles

Siamo guidati solamente 200 miglia oggi. Abbiamo visto un mulino vecchio e siamo dovuto frenare forte quando una macchina e' girato subito senza freccia. Ho quasi scivolato la gomma anteriore. Siamo arrivati alla citta di Boone, chiamato del uomo famoso Daniel Boone. Il tempo sembra buono cosi siamo stati al campeggio stanotte.


An old mill
Un mulino vecchio


Inside the forest
Nel bosco


Are motorcycles really the reason for life?
Mi chiedo "Le moto sono veramente la ragione per la vita?"
