Got to cruise home for a while with Pedro!!! - 9 years ago
Was headed home yesterday...and what do I see in the distance? I couldn't tell! LOL, it looked like something exotic, possibly a Porsche... Dropped the hammer for a second and caught up to: A Boxster towing a trailer! Low and behold who do I see driving? Non other than the infamous Pedro himself! Rolled down the window and shouted some greetings to him and then passed by...he tucked rightby Sizzle Chest - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)

5/30/15 update: Started out with breakfast out on the terrace...overlooking a Porsche show on the lawn! It was nice! Caravanned into Asheville. We went to the very cool and well known Grove Park Inn, built in 1913, it is spectacular! HUGE fireplaces, great terrace to have lunch on, and a very nice historic place to visit. We had a private tour setup for the antique car museum and craftsmby Sizzle Chest - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)

Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Then took a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway to a little town called Spruce Pine for some lunch at a great place called The Knife & Fork.

5/26/2015 update: I've never driven this car so hard before...Florida is too flat! It is such a capable machine. I am only 'nervous' when I think I am going into a turn too hot...for a split second, then the car is like, "yeah, I got this!". So great to be able to do that. So much FUN! Didn't do much today, had plumbing issue and was waiting on the plumber for longer than I anticipated. Iby Sizzle Chest - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
Re: BRBS coming up fast!!! - 9 years ago
^^^^Safe travels and see you soon! It rained overnight. Woke up to some spotty showers as well. It is partly sunny today...it appears as if it will be another great day! Possibly headed out for another drive later today/this afternoon. (Have a plumbing issue @ the cabin and waiting on the plumber!)

Re: BRBS coming up fast!!! - 9 years ago

Made a few new friends while at the top...a super sweet 1965 911 and a 1957 356 showed up too! Headed up to the summit and looked around, checked out the views and then back to the Parkway to a town called Spruce Pine for some lunch!

I can imagine! LOL...maybe we will need at least one night with some 'bad' weather! Perhaps we will be able to discuss the weather over a few Gary!by Sizzle Chest - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
Re: In previous years the rest of us have experienced our share of rain and fog up there.... - 9 years ago
Yeah Gary, it's just the typical spring time weather up here! We are trying to do some outside projects to the cabin and it's putting a damper on that! The weather can be unpredictable up here this time of year. We've been coming up here in the spring to open our place for the past 15+ years and it is ususally cold, a little rainy and yes, foggy! We came home from Spruce Pine yesterday and tby Sizzle Chest - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)

I am in Little Switzerland right now!!! - 9 years ago
The Mrs and I headed up to the area this past Saturday to open up our cabin. We are about 10 miles from Little Switzerland. We are just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near the Mt. Mitchell Golf Course. Things are nice up here...a little cool and rainy and the trees are just starting to bud and the dogwood's are blooming! Very nice to be able to see a LOT more without any leaves on the trees!by Sizzle Chest - Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (BRBS)
