What Mr. Pip said: The Blue Ridge Parkway, at least the portions in and around Maggie Valley can indeed be navigated at speeds well above those posted.  And it ain't no interstate.  So if you want to use it to get from one place to another, do so with the idea that you are not in a hurry, and want to enjoy the gorgeous views and countryside.  Kinda like: do I take the I5 or the PCH?  Depends on what it is you want to do. And how much time you have to do it.

PS, have done the PCH top to bottom a couple of times, and I'll put it at #1.  Skyline drive and BR Pkwy are very nice, and may be the coolest thing in the East, but you just cant beat the PCH.  IMHO.

Stan, that’s a pretty poor excuse.    

My #1 grandson was born on May 28’th and #2 (Chris’ son) was June 1’st.  Pretty poor planning on their parent’s part, if you ask me.

We both took a lot of heat (twice!) for “running off to Carlisle when that baby could be born any minute!”

Grandson #1 came along the same year we built Lane’s car at Carlisle.  Sometimes, you have to prioritize......

whats the weather going to be like?

The weather is guaranteed to be between 30and 90 degrees, with ark-requiring flooding to Sahara-like roasting and everything in between. Sometimes, all of the above in the same 3 day period.  

I usually put my underwear on backwards and start the “No Rain Dance” on May 1st. It worked great last year. 🙄
