Time passes slowly through the ancient hills and smoky hollows of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The thin seam that separates Yesterday from Today becomes obscure as you travel the winding mountain road known as the Blue Ridge Parkway. Invisible walls exist along the ancient trails and dusty side roads. Boundaries, when passed through, may thrust you into other dimensions - suspended somewhere in time. This is a place of final retreat. The last stand of legends and myths, and forgotten memories who's energy remains floating with the mist. There is power in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Approach them with respect and make them your friends. They will show you wondrous things! Don Yeargin Virtual Tour of Bedford VA and places of interest in the area.
