Here we are in Asheville NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains on our way home. Lst night we stayed with Phil and Sandra Jean Allen near Royston in the north of Georgia. They are friends from Canada who now live near Stratford Ontario during the summer and in Georgia for the winter. Phil was a former neighbour on Brunswick St. in Oshawa and Sandra is from Georgia.

We left their place his morning and headed into NC and came along a scenic route over the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a very twisty road up one side of the mountain and down the other with Caesar's Head State Park at the top. It was recommended to us by other road warriors we met on the way. Rene and Crystal were from Edmonton Alberta. Rene was originally from Cold Springs north of Cobourg Ontario. They had book to say with Gary and Joy from Asheville NC through a bikers network on line and they were exploring the area on thier bikes togethe. Crystal and Rene had been on the road for several months and are just exploring America with no set itinerary. Very cool people.

When we went back to the car there was a chap our age waiting for us. A budy had called him to come down to see our car as he knew that he was into Triumphs. We had quite a chat and he had a good look at the car. he has a TR4 in his garage to work on and was quite keen. We have met and chatted with many people on the trip and it has made it quite interesting and enjoyable. It is part of the magic of having a vintage car.

We will continue on the Blue Ridges Parkway tomorrow as we head for home.
