I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Living on the side of a steep hill
Leading off the parking lot is this enticing path. I think I'll have to go exploring!
Our little apartment complex sign is there for those who already know about it, I think.
Looking back down the hill of N. Blue Ridge Rd., there are my pretty azaleas!
Those white hanging blossoms are sourwood, a local favorite tree for honey in western North Carolina.
...I remember driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway years ago and seeing people selling sourwood honey. I was told by friends that some of it was in name only.
Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
