Foggy Mountain Breakdown / by Dave Hileman

Well, we didn't but it still reminded me of that Blue Grass song first done in 1949. This is the famed Linn Cove Viaduct - the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be completed. It opened in the 1980's and cost over 10 million dollars. This shot is from the start of the north end with fog rapidly cutting the view to zero in about five minutes. I like how the road just disappears. And if you don't know the story of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, check out this from NPR:
