Blue Ridge from VA to NC

We are making the drive from Appomattox to Asheville next week and would like to spend part of the drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We know we don't have enough time to make the entire drive on the Parkway beacuse we need to do this drive in 1 day, so would need suggestions on the best route to take between these two points. Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you looked at the other current posts about the Blue Ridge Parkway? You are aware, aren't you, that some major parts of it are closed due to "hurricane" damage?
You need to start by looking at the closures and seeing which parts you CAN do.

Bob -- The parkway is closed, due to road erosion, around Asheville (Frances, not Ivan). Check out the Asheville Citizen for details.

Yes, I checked the park service website and today they posted this info:
The Parkway is now open from mile 0 to 305 at Grandfather Mountain, mile 308 just south of US 221 at the Linville community to mile 317 at Linville Falls, and from mile 325 just south north of Spruce Pine to 334 at Little Switzerland. The road is also open from 375 at Ox Creek just north of Asheville to mile 412 (US 276), and from 455 at US 19 near Maggie Valley to mile 469 at Cherokee. Additional sections between Asheville and Mt. Mitchell State Park are expected to open later this week.
