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

Below: Across the street from the above Bad Fork Valley Overlook.

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 comments from people they passed because they liked her Pumpkin outfit and pumpkin mask. Sometimes, Karen noticed people pointing at her.

Below: Views from the parking lot below the picnic area.

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.

Then just up the street, the two RV Gypsies came to 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 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: More colorful cliffs with water dripping downwards.

Below: Views from each side of the street at the Highest Elevation. Unfortunately the view over the cliff was blocked by a lot of pine trees.

Below: Leaving the Blue Ridge Parkway, the two RV Gypsies passed a trailer truck with big Army-type trucks plus one tiny truck on its backside. Karen snapped a quick photo of the Little Truck oddity on the Big Truck.
