True about the roads around the BRP area. I typically only jump on the parkway at the junction of HWY 8, then take it down past Mabry Mill to 58 - Meadows of Dan. Then you can pick up Squirrel Spur, which is a wonderful twisty bit of tarmac. There's also a great road off of 8, before you get to the BRP, as well- Route 40 (starts in Woolwine) towards Rocky Mount. A great, scenic road with lots of curves and elevation changes that winds up at a gas stop and a Dairy Queen. Dang it! This is as bad as talking about food without being able to eat, now that the 200 lb squirrels are active again
