We Tent Camped Out Of Our VW Bug

Our bug with tent poles attached! Near Doughton Park MP-245

We completed all of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline Drive in August of 1968. We tent camped at first and then bought a fold-out camper. My wife suggests a bumper sticker instead of a certificate which would be nice and provide some publicity to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Though in a wheelchair the last 14 years, I still try to get to the campgrounds once or twice a year.

P.S. Here’s a picture near Doughton Park with our tent poles tied on the back of our VW in 1965.

    Sorry about the wheelchair Dr. Medford. I love Doughton Park…been going there all my life. I’m 47 and live in High Point, NC. I am trying to get the wife and kids interested in tent camping. We have a large camper that isnt really working out..lol
