    Nothing over the top to report, but did take my wife up on to the Blue Ridge Parkway for a picnic lunch. It was a cool 64 degrees and we had a great time and great views and just chilled out.
    Snapped a pic of my keepin it stock Silver Sky Tundra, not to bad for a 2014.

    When the mountains call we must go.

    We drove up and visited Mt Mitchell walked up to the lookout tower checked out the amazing views and then headed back south on the BRP to Craggy Garden picnic area for lunch. Beautiful day. We like the Brevard area.

    Love the pics! Nothing like the BRP! Glad you had the opportunity to enjoy a great parkway journey! Looks like a Russel day long saddle on the scoot?
