Sven: the rolling adventure van

Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Public Works Administration to put people to work during the Great Depression, the blue ridge parkway is 300+ miles of some of the prettiest driving in the county. The winding roads artfully complement the natural scenery and moving from mountain top to mountain top, gave us breathtaking views at every turn. 

After a quick detour to see the new river gorge in West Virginia, we took rt. 77 to meet up with the parkway. We made it just over the boarder to NC before we called it a night. This was our first night sleeping in Sven. Retrofitted for sleeping it was exciting to finally be doing what Jesse and I had been talking about for months. We are now in the midst of a great adventure.

The next day we made our way to great smoky mountains national park. We read that great mountain biking lye ahead of us, and we were not disappointed. We took some beautiful single frame to breakup the monontiny of driving.

We are now spending the night in a walmart parking lot in a Nashville walmart and hope to push to Memphis tomorrow. As for me in tired and going to bed.
