One of the great Aussie myths is that the Blue Mountains that ring Sydney owe their color to gum oil from the trees.
WRONG! Check it out- blue mountains, sans gums, Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia, Not Australia.
The country round the parkway is savage++. How this thing ever got built through such a landscape is a great mystery.
While the land around the parkway is quite wild, the road itself is quite genteel. The road surface is perfect- flat, no cracks, no patches of different color. The grass either side is immaculate lawn, mowed to around 6 feet either side of the road.
And this goes on for mile after mile after mile after...
