So what do you guys think about this route?

We would meet in Boone, NC sometime in the morning ... maybe 10AM

Then drive to Valle Crucis, Banner Elk, Linville, then Blowing Rock via 221.

Of course we could stop along the way for pictures, food, etc. After getting to Blowing Rock we could head back to Linville this time along the BR Parkway and then finally back to Boone for everyone to head back home.

If anyone has suggestions for better roads let me know but this would be a pretty scenic loop with a mixture of road types.
