The Blueridge Parkway

We left Cullowhee this morning, and drove through the Blueridge Parkway on our way to Chapel Hill.



The Blueridge Parkway is so beautiful! The last time we drove through was in October, 2004, when we came with my parents. It was during that trip, on the Waterrock Knob hiking trail, that Dick proposed to me! This morning, we hiked back up that same trail (not a terribly easy hike!) back to the exact spot where Dick proposed. It was really cool to come back to the exact spot more than 5 years later and take another picture. :)



We drove for a few hours across the state and encountered several lightening and thunder storms. Pretty intense rain, lightening and thunder!! Eventually, we saw an enormous rainbow, which made it all worth while. :)
