I definitely know where the Shining Rock Wilderness parking lot is. Got to spend about half a day there waiting on a midget wrecker to show up and haul our truck/camper down the mtn to the Brevard Ford dealer. I know the one rock to stand on were my pos Verizon phone will work. If you have a jeep, the 4wd road past the parking lot is open this time of year. It follows the old railroad grade a couple of miles around to a gap (forget the name). Lots of blue berry bushes there and makes for a shorter walk to the Shinning Rocks.
I think our Blueridge PKWY trip is falling through. I have to get my Jeep put back together. Its been took apart since 16 August. I had my axle swap all planned out to be finished by 15 Sept, but Dynatrac sent me the wrong axle and that set me back almost a month. They readily admitted it was their mistake and they quickly addressed the problem and sent me the correct axle on their nickel, but it still caused a major delay.
We still may get to go for a couple or three days, but we aren’t making any reservations. We had planned on staying 2 days at Bear Den CG and 2 days at Mt Pisgah CG and 1 day at Cherokee.
