Ben and Jack are doing well! On Monday, they were near Laurel Springs, NC. Tuesday, they camped at Julian Price Memorial Park Campground, near Blowing Rock, NC. It was really cold! They have been riding about 50 miles a day and tonight are in Crabtree Meadows Capmground near Mt. Mitchell, the highest point East of the Mississippi River. It will definitely be chilly there! They will be doing some climbing tomorrow, for sure! Tomorrow night they plan a motel stay in Asheville as they have camped the past three nights. Doing 50 or so miles a day, it looks like they will arrive in Cherokee, NC, the terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway on Saturday morning. I plan to pick them up there.
I had a wonderful ride today, nearly 44 miles in gorgeous, clear weather. The mountains were as clear as I have seen them in a very long time. It is supposed to be like this through the weekend. That will be nice as Graham, Sherri, and Morgan are coming up on Saturday to be here for the homecoming. It will be a wonderful celebration for all of us. I can't wait to see them...and Ben!
