We Moved To Ashe County Because Of The Parkway

August 12th, 2008 Dr. Houck Medford Go to comments

AshbaughMy wife Judie and I planned and completed a summer trip in June, 1989. We started at Front Royal Virginia at the start of the Skyline Drive, and about two weeks later we ended in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We drove the full length of the Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Smoky Mountains Park. We were so impressed with the local people and the places we visited, that in 1991 when I retired, we decided to move to the area. We moved to Ashe County in October of 1992 and have not changed our opinion of the Parkway, except that it is as beautiful in winter, spring, and fall as it was in June on our first visit. When we have guests, they always get a tour of the Parkway. I think we would qualify as an end-to-ender.
