Pat and I took a ride down to Dillard’s Mill on a warm, very windy day in December. About a two hour drive south of Cuba, Missouri.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a stunningly scenic road that winds its way through the Appalachian Mountains, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. A drive along the Parkway, especially through the section that traverses the Great Smoky Mountains, is an unforgettable experience.
