- Franz recommended a place to stay in Floyd, VA. It took me years, and a few Blue Ridge trips to make it to Floyd, but it was one of the most pleasant places I've spent a night on the road.
- Patty, at a secluded church garden in the VA mountains.
- Stopping to smell the roses. Patty likes stopping, regardless.
- Dean, wearing the colors of his sponsor. Or is it the other way around?
- C'mon, can't we sit for five more minutes?!?
- The trusty steed at rest. This bike has carried Patty & me, and all our gear, several thousand miles through Appalachia over the years.
- I've stopped here on the way north, heading home, over the years to savor the mountain views and reflect on a voyage.
