BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY-FANCY GAP; JULY 7-9








Moved ourselves further along the Parkway going South. We found the KOA at Fancy Gap and squatted down for a few days. There was not as much to see/do as I first thought and it rained everyday so the stop kept us off the highways. We did see the Mabry Mill and the Bluegrass Music museum where 2 guys where a pickin and a grinnin dont' ch know:) Next day we went to Mount Airy which was the model for Andy Griffith, Don Knotts and Mayberry. Did not do much for us an neither did downtown Galax, we are finding that what turns some on others don't like it, this area is great if your an antique hunter, have a lot of money and an empty trailer:) Since I have none of those items/interest I get tired by the third antique shop. Item of interest was the campground owners moved out from Phoenix 2 years ago, tired of the rat race and seem to enjoy their new lifestyle. Oh, does that white house remind you of an old movie? We are now off to Asheville North Carolina and hope to find more interesting things to see/do.
