"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."

It is America’s Favorite Drive, and in 2010, the Blue Ridge Parkway celebrates 75 years of guiding motorists through hundreds of miles of natural wonders and spectacular views. Along its 252 miles in North Carolina, the Parkway meanders from the beautiful NC High Country through the Pisgah National Forest to the eclectic mountain city of Asheville and finally into the ancient land of the Cherokee at the doorstep of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A majestic Parkway scene is featured as one of the two covers on the 2010 North Carolina Travel Guide.

Now, you can enter to win a week-long road trip that will guide you through everything this amazing byway has to offer. The lucky entrant receives two nights at the Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock, two nights at the Brookstone Lodge in Asheville, two nights in Cherokee, and a host of passes and certificates for restaurants, attractions, and shopping along the way! You’ll also get a subscription to Our State magazine as a memento of your journey to North Carolina.Hurry! The sweepstakes ends January 31, 2010.
