Read the rest at Wayfaring Wanderer: 24hr Adventure in Asheville. Date: July 22, 2010 (Linville, NC) Beginning the week of August 2, 2010, TAB Construction Company, Inc. will conduct contract work to repave the road into the Linville Falls Picnic Area of the Blue Ridge Parkway and two of the picnic area parking loops. The contract work is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and includes road and parking repaving, replacement of existing asphalt sidewalks, drain repairs, and restriping of the road and parking area. Linville Falls Picnic Area is located near Milepost 316 of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Avery County, North Carolina. Work in the picnic area is expected to continue through mid-September, weather permitting. During the construction operations on the road into the picnic area, the picnic facility will be closed. Work on the associated parking loops will require only portions or loops of the picnic area to be closed. This is my go to book whenever I want to start looking into visiting a new area of the North Carolina mountains.

"It is a beautiful book with gorgeous color pictures. Text boxes detailing a particular subject such as rhododendrons or Daniel Boone are sprinkled throughout. But why did they have to use black text on a dark purple background for these boxes? They are so difficult to read. Except for that shortcoming, this book is meant to be used, not to be left on the bookshelf. I take my copy wherever I think I am going to be on the Parkway. As for the answers to the questions above? Check pages 120, 129 and 108, respectively." I couldn't agree more...  | |||||
