Edgemont Road goes to the tiny town of Mortimer. Mortimer was wiped off the map in the 1940 flood when Wilson Creek Gorge crested about 94 feet above its flood stage. The history is interesting. At one time, Woodrow Wilson visited down in there and stayed at a hotel. There was train track and active rail (that was destroyed in the flood) down into tiny Mortimer.Louvregirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052153326685432260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525061611057949729.post-11743205918596096532011-05-23T18:18:18.005-07:002011-05-23T18:18:18.005-07:00Hi pat!

I will ask my hubby the name of the exact highway that we turned onto Pilot Ridge from. There are many many gravel roads leading off highways and the Blue Ridge Parkway up here! I was amazed to find this out and I now know that they go on for miles and miles...Louvregirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052153326685432260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525061611057949729.post-58017725502634767502011-05-23T18:11:30.182-07:002011-05-23T18:11:30.182-07:00curious as to where that is...what would be the ne...curious as to where that is...what would be the nearest main road just to orient on the map!100 Thoughts of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200599373915306830noreply@blogger.com
