Mill Mountain, Roanoke Mountain Loop Road & Dieselducy's Scooter Motorcycle
We went up to Mill Mountain last Sunday and met Dieselducy up there where I got to ride on his scooter motorcycle and enjoyed God's beautiful creation of the blue ridge mountains. We also went to Roanoke Mountain overlook where you can see the back of Mill Mt and see the top of the back of the Roanoke Star. Just one of the highlights of my weekend trip up to the star city of the south. For more info on blue ridge mountains overlooks, see the links below:

This small but pleasant zoo is home to 4,500 animals, housed in carefully designed ecosystems along shaded trails. It consistently rates in the top 10 best zoos in the United States. Be sure to visit the boardwalks and treehouses of the Wortham World of Primates. If you need a break from the heat, take a spin on the climate-controlled Wildlife Carousel near the Children's Zoo. That’s just a small part of the adventure and beauty you’ll find here!
