This Land, Your Land

The Blue Ridge Parkway has initiated a Twitter account and is tweeting since earlier this month.

The Asheville Citizen-Times' Girls Gone Outdoors blog quotes the parkway's chief of maintenance and engineering, Mike Molling, who says the Parkway will send out updates on the status of openings and closures along the 469-mile scenic roadway.

It's also sending notice of public programs along the Parkway and, in an April 23 message, mentioned a couple of special visitors.
