With Memorial Day fast approaching, we would like to take a moment to remember all the brave men and women who have perished while serving our country. If you would like to know more about helping a serviceman/woman and their families, please visit here. We are grateful to all for their service.
If you are traveling this weekend, here are some driving tips for the NC Mountains:
- Make sure that your tires and brakes are in good working order. Check air pressure in tires.
- Use a lower gear when driving down hill so that you don't have to use your brakes as often. This will help prevent overheating of your brakes which can lead to brake failure.
- Enjoy the scenery but be sure to watch the road. The NC High Country is beautiful and we want visitors to enjoy it, however it's best to pull over in a safe lookout area to admire the mountain vistas.
- There are lots of twisty roads, watch how fast you are driving on them. There may be an animal or another vehicle in your lane just around the bend.
- Be sure to have plenty of fuel if you are driving on the Parkway as it may be many miles in between available fuel stops.
- Be aware that your GPS device may or may not work in the mountains so be sure to pick up a local map just in case.
