Day 16 Hampton, VA to Blue Ridge Parkway, VA




June 12

milage 394
total milage 4225

Time to be on the road to the next corner, Maine. I rode to Danville, VA to meet Martin and tour the Tank Museum. It was well worth it but they don't allow flash photos so only a couple of them came out. One is an early motorcycle made in LA. We then went to the Blue Ridege Parkway and turned North. We were on the Parkway for about 60 miles. The last half od it was the section that we rode our bicycles on last year. Things were much closer now. The riding was fantastic, this is what motorcycling is all about.
We managed to get to the food bar at Loft Mountain a few minutes before they closed so we got something for dinner. We met "Dirt and Rob", two brothers wandering the world like bees. They are on Harleys, Martin said he admired their courage. They replied that the bikes were under warranty. We camped accross from them at the campground.
394 miles
Camping fee $7.50
