When It's Hot In Gray, TN . . . It's Always Pleasant On The Parkway

DennyWe absolutely love riding the Parkway. This is a group of us at Willville Motorcycle Campground on Hwy 58 just east of the Parkway at Meadows Of Dan. We love Willville. I had my 93 Goldwing Interstate with the trailer I built from scratch. We always eat at Mabry Mill and walk around the grounds when we pass through.

We enjoy riding over to Mt. Airy and eat at Snappy Lunch. The owner started working there in 1943 and bought it in 1960 and he is still there today. While in Mt. Airy we like to visit North Carolina Granite Corp. to see the World’s Largest Open-face Granite Mine In The World. This year we visited Pilot Mt. State Park. There is an incredible 360 deg view from the top of the mountain.

We also enjoyed stopping a couple of years ago to see the D-Day Memorial in Bedford Va. There are so many great things around the Parkway to see that it would take a long time to see all of them. That’s not counting all of the sights on the Parkway itself. I feel fortunate that I live close enough to get up on the Parkway within 1hr and 45 minutes. Even when its real hot in Gray TN, it’s almost always very pleasant up on the Parkway. I’ve got lots of great pictures of my time on the Parkway and I plan on getting many more. Thanks.

We completed “enders” in ‘05 and ‘06.!
