One of the few natural lakes in Virginia. High up on the top of a mountain, hence the name, duh. A long winding road takes you up there. Fun to drive, reminds me of driving in Bosnia and Croatia in 1995. Cool !
There's a hotel on the edge of the lake, you can rent boats etc.

Yep, not bad at all. Ok, there's a highway in the valley just below the hotel, but apart from the occasional noise you almost wouldn't notice it.

View of the valley and hills from the parkway. It was a bit hazy that afternoon. And my camera skills are not proficient enough to make something better of it.

Nice car !
Typically American, overpowered, ridiculous fuel consumption etc.
But fun to drive, especially compared to my own Golf.

Hmm, I didn't venture too far out on foot after that sign.
The sign saying "Comfort station" didn't really put me at ease ;-)

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a road through a national park of Virginia. Very nice landscapes. I've only seen a small part of it. It's hundreds of miles long.
