[quote Grateful11]The Blue Ridge Parkway wasn't designed to be an expressway like some would like it to
be. Folks take your time and enjoy it there's a state road that runs parallel to it most of the
time if the locals don't like it they take the state road and leave the federal one to us sightseers.
There's so much more to see than leaves.

I'm not referring to the driving ON the parkway. I was referring to parkway traffic that stray from the parkway yet manage to stay in "sightseeing" mode. The state roads around the parkway where I lived were 2 lane and often clogged with logging trucks etc. However, its pretty sad when you are behind a logging truck cursing their existence only to realize the logging truck is cursing the tourist in front of HIM.
