The two RV Gypsies spent hours driving on The Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at many of the overlooks.

Below: The two RV Gypsies drove through the first of many tunnels. Then they stopped at an overlook with no sign. There were also many cliff areas with water running down the cliffs, making the rocks look shiny and almost creepy.

Finally, the two RV Gypsies came to a picnic area. But it was a long, steep walk up to the picnic tables. There were regular clean restrooms and plenty of picnic tables circled around a nice field of grass.

Below: Karen Duquette got lots of good comments from people they passed because they liked her Pumpkin outfit and Pumpkin mask. Sometimes, Karen noticed people pointing at her, which is okay be her because she knows her outfit will usually get noticed. (The mask was because of the Coronavirus)

Driving along, the two RV Gypsies stopped where there was not an overlook because they spied a waterfall, so Karen Duquette carefully walked to the edge and cautiously took some photos. It is important to always be careful at the edge of a cliff, near waterfalls, hills, and so many other places.

Then just up the street, Lee Duquette noticed a big parking lot full of cars. It was Graveyard Fields. And there was a trail down to the falls. But It was too far of a walk, too steep of a trail, and mostly, just too late in the day for the two RV Gypsies to attempt hiking the trail.

Driving on

Below: There were lots of people up on the big rock at Devils Courthouse Overlook.

Below: Leaving the Blue Ridge Parkway, Lee Duquette drove pass a trailer truck with big Army-type trucks plus one tiny truck on its backside. Karen Duquette quickly snapped a photo of the Little Truck oddity on the Big Truck.
