Day 386 - Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway

The journey continued North in the direction of New York.

We wanted to visit the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway.

Driving was enjoyable. Signs are posted for directions, rest areas, restaurants, gas stations, and hotels. The streets have name signs! There is no need to watch for cows, horses, or donkeys on the road. Highways are beautifully paved and smooth with a center or multiple lines. I could fully relax and drive without worrying about trenches or deep potholes.

In Central and South America, this was generally not the case.

Contrast much appreciated!
