I am sorry to hear that. We really want to drive on the parkway. I'm not braving any of those tunnels. I was planning to adjust our trip to avoid the tunnels completely. It looks like we can get onto Skyline drive near Stanardsville, VA at Rt. 33 to avoid the Mary's Rock Tunnel, detour around the Bluff Mountain Tunnel, and end our Blue Ridge Parkway adventure near Linville Falls, NC on Rt. 221 to avoid the remainder of the southern tunnels. I've driven 33 as far as Harrisonburg. It was actually fun. What happens on the other side?

I've got a call into the park service inquiring about their tree trimming along the route. I don't mind curves and hills, but a couple of low hanging limbs would send me scurrying to the next exit!
