A motorcyclist rides past a split rail fence on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linville, N.C. in this Sept. 16, 2006 file photo. The scenic parkway is on a new driving-tour map developed by National Geographic and the Appalachian Regional Commission featuring 28 suggested routes, all reflecting the diversity of the 13-state region that stretches from southern New York to northeast Mississippi.
