One of the many highlights of trip was driving 340 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Virginia into North Carolina...bit overcast,but a great ride...

That sounds like a fun trip. A lot of driving, and a lot of scenery. That stretch of hiway down the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be one of the highlights.

Nice! I love long road trips in the Vette.

The last four years, I've done a Chicago-Carlisle-Wash. DC-Blue Ridge Pkwy-Lexington-Knoxville-
Nashville-Bowling Green-Chicago tour during the 10 days around Corvettes at Carlisle and the NCM's Birthday Bash

Going to try a Western trip next year
