A fleet of Niner Jet RDO carbon bikes. Niner hosted a demo day in Greensboro, so I had to ride a ~$4k bike in the woods-

Scenes from the road. at 4:55am my wife calls me (waking me up) and once I was up, I was up, 15 minutes later I was on the road. 11 hours later I pulled into my driveway. At least I have to work on Memorial Day to recover ; )

Home and free, the hospital band is off. Steph had an emergency appendectomy on Sunday, the appendix was gangrenous so she has several meds, and needs lots of sleep. She will be out of work for 4 weeks... I guess lots of time for Shamoo.

As you can tell, we made a quick trip to the mountains, it was supposed to be cycling, hiking, eating, but I missed the weather and it was COLD, we didn't have enough sleeping bag and I didn't bring warm enough cycling gear. We did a short ride on the Linn Cove Viaduct and spent the rest of the time enjoying the company of The Clarks, eating around the fire and hiking. Above is a "water fall" at the Rough Ridge Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's not listed in my waterfall book, so it must be a slide?

Cascades Waterfall at E.B. Jeffress Park BRP milepost 272 - worth the easy hike!
A pink Lady Slipper, I think a pretty rare flower.
Pink Lady's Slipper is an interesting wildflower in the Orchid Family. They are endangered in some areas because they take a long time to grow, and because people collect them.
This plant has only two leaves. They are green and branch out from the center of the plant. A single flower stalk also grows from the center.
The deep pink flower, which many people say looks like a slipper, grows about three inches long. Unlike most flowers you see, this flower is closed tightly except for a small opening in the front.
Pink Lady's Slippers grow in shady forests under pine trees, oaks, Red Maple, and Sweetgum. Some other plants that grow alongside them include Greenbrier and Sassafras.
The travelers!
Just for Deb, a rear view mirror photo.

Boone Fork Falls is located on the Boone Fork Trail on the Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 296.4 at Julian Price Park Picnic Area. The falls are not the typical falls but instead rush and fall over car-sized boulders. Lots of jumping from rock to rock to climb the falls. Sam even found a squeeze to slide through...
