getting ready to take a trip on the blue ridge parkway with my father-in-law at the end of the month. we’ve been talking about riding the parkway for a while and now it’s time to make it happen…
the past week or so i’ve been trying to figure out the details – when we’re going , how far we’ll travel each day, where we’ll stop overnight and other rides we might be able to fit in during our journey. the original plan was to make travel the parkway in two days. knowing we’d want to ride the snake as well as the tail of the dragon. to help plan the trip i ordered the latest version of the blue ridge parkway maps from america rides maps.
the maps arrived today and i was pleasantly surprised. from the start i’ve been impressed with the maps. i also know the maps have expanded and upgraded. but i didn’t realize how much until i got the latest versions of the map.
the new maps contain more routes as well as more detail. detail in both the crispness of the maps themselves and the number of amenities like gas stations, restaurants and lodging along the suggested routes. the routes are well marked on the map with descriptions on the back of the map. the maps, seven in total, are well labeled to indicated how all seven maps fit together. making it easy to pick up a road or route on an adjacent map.
i know wayne put a lot of time and effort towards creating these maps. his effort is definitely paid off with these maps.
well, i better get to finalizing the details of the trip. with the help of these maps it shouldn’t be too tough.
Thanks for alerting me to the typo. As I'm constantly changing and updating the maps one occasionally sneaks in. Fortunately, this one was obvious enough to be recognizable so that you won't get lost. I've made the correction. I'll get you a replacement map ASAP. Fortunately that map is getting a lot of attention right now with frequent changes. Very few went out with the typo.
