Picked up BRP Western Entrance above Cherokee, NC, then North on Rt 215- 215 is a very "twisty" road there, 25-30 mph is about as fast as one could go for a short time.. then picked up Rt 276 south, with variable kinds of road, including some twisties and mountain roads. Looking Glass Falls is right on rt 276, and crowded. Driving to Caesar Head park, SC is a nice curvy, climbing stretch. In Greenville, SC we picked up I-26, then I-95, with a short visit to a classmate in Amelia Island, Fl and on south to homes in Brevard County, Florida.

len and I had a great time at crossfire Spring 2018. thanks to all ... Looking forward to the fall 2018 gathering.

A video of the Western BRP is at https://youtu.be/Gdzlile1XXI .. here is a map of a portion of our route:
The Parkway is a nice venue for casual cruising. Speeds are always around 40 MPH +/- 5 MPH. If one has the time to spare, it is a very nice road trip. Fall season is usually spectacular all along the roadway.
