Hide your spouse. Hide your kids. But most importantly… hide that bag of chili Doritos. “I told you to leave that at home, Warren!” This Official Postcrossing card reached me from North Carolina! This is a cool vintage poster of Blue Ridge Parkway, a 755-km park that extends through North Carolina and Virginia. It’s the longest park in America and considered to be “America’s Favorite Drive”. Why, America, do you suppose this is your favorite drive? Well, aside from it being a ride full of beautiful, relaxing natural sights spawning from a multitude of unique habitats and bountiful biodiversity, you get to pass by things like Whitewater Falls (the highest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains) and Mount Mitchell, the latter which I did a post on a few weeks ago! The Blue Ridge Mountains are part of the larger Appalachian Mountains, and this parkway runs mostly alongside it. So you’re def in for a treat… as long as you AREN’T the treat for a certain hairy son of a gun. Bigfoot (or Sasquatch) is an ape-like creature that supposedly is lurking around the Blue Ridge Mountains. People for hundreds of years have been making claims about seeing him. There’s even the group called the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) that’s dedicated for tracking him down! I’m thinking Warren, his wife Thelma, and their kids Archibald and Lucy Anne are gonna find out soon if he’s real (I dunno, those names just sound very 50s so that’s why I picked them XD) Thank you so much for this awesome postcard and for all the COOL STUFF you included, Becky! (Oh, a riddle that the sender gave me! How can you cut the number 12 in half and get 7?)
