Virginia, this state has so much history, and so many wonderful places to visit, so I just moved there! My favorites, Civil war sites and The Blue Ridge Parkway, and this is where I call home Milepost 163 35miles south of Roanoke. When on the Parkway visit Maybry Mill the most photographed place on the entire parkway! all 400+ miles . The mill is at milepost 178, Also a great winery and restaurant can be found at Mile post 173 Chateau Morrisette. When traveling the Parkway in your motorhome campgrounds are not new so be prepared to use 30amp or dry camp. You will not be disappointed! The best times Late April till June 1 and Oct till mid November, It will not be busy then and you can take your time to get lost in this beautiful place! Gary
