As we were driving between mileposts 268 and 269 we passed a motel that looked familiar to me. I made Paul turn around and believe it or not it was the spooky Park Vista Motel that our Garmin lead us to that was closed last year. It was still for sale but somehow it didn't look as spooky as it did that stormy night.
Last year we had come to it via a long winding country road from another Parkway exit. It was getting dark, foggy, and raining and it looked so spooky. Now we know why there was a motel in the middle of the woods; it was really right next to the Parkway. That night we had gone back down that long winding road, crossed the Parkway at a different place and then went down a long descent on the other side of the mountains to Wilkesboro where we found the Addison Inn. We could have just gotten on the Parkway right by the Park Vista Motel!
After we passed the Linn Cove Viaduct it started raining and we decided to do a detour off the Parkway.
I'm not sure where we got off, but it was soon after the viaduct. More about that tomorrow!
