One of the best things about motorcycling into new areas are the people we met and the events we experience. Including horrific thunderstorms on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This photo was taken by some people we met under a picnic shelter as we got off the road during one such thunderstorm. The rain was coming down so hard it was like driving through Newfie fog except the rain drops were bigger than quarters but just as thick. But we all found an old motel in the mountains, had a great meal, some drinks and a great nights sleep. I am looking forward to more such experiences during this Roadtrip!
