This episode is like every other one, except something else is going on, maybe the music, maybe the pace of storytelling, but all of a sudden I get this message of how important the two of you are to one another and the fragility of life and how dear we are to one another. Maybe the back stories, very touching, Thank you.

My girl and I were just were you are in this episode. Her mom lives in Sparta NC. Just where you camped. You guys missed Little Switzerland, it was just before the Alpine Inn you passed. We rode around for 4days. We went to Maggy Valley, Cherokee, Little Switzerland and Tail of the Dragon. It was a great trip. Stay safe.

that was a really neat series on the BRP! i lived in Goldsboro, NC. for a while. didn't really know N.C. was that pretty, or scenic.like y'all, i just want a nice 40-45 mph road to cruise. here in FL. a 35 mph rd is at minimum 50, the way these people are in such a hurry. that old cabin, andthe grist mill were really cool step back into history. as was those unmarked graves you saw. really neat series, what's next? stay safe.

Nice videos I’m sure these vlogs are appreciated by many folks who can’t get out and do this. On a different note have you done a video on how the Triumph has preformed for you? I know when you picked it up that the fuel consumption was higher than you’d hoped for. But how has the bike done in these last 6000(?) miles?

Chris, I noticed that you use the clutch when shifting. Is that just habit? Or do you prefer not to use the quick shifter for a reason?

Over the years, my wife and I have traveled every mile of the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way to Pennsylvania. Some of the miles several times. The best time of year for me would be May and June. Still cool in the hills but not cold or hot. Fall is ok but things start to close down that time of year and even in the middle of July on top of Mt Mitchell, we experienced 45 degrees and wet. I love the area around Boone NC and Grandfather Mountain. If you have never on top of Grandfather Mountain, it has the most beautiful view of any spot in the Blue Ridge or Smokey mountains. One problem though. I cost near $50 dollars for one bike to make the trip up. Damn rip off but if you want to pay the price, it is one site you will never forget. Believe it or not, the mountain is privately owned. Not a part of the government.
