Number: 276

Started driving the Blue Ridge Parkway at 11 am this morning to find Monarchs. Spotted 3 flying over Licklog Ridge Overlook, but I kept moving North in hopes of finding more at Cherry Cove. The fog got thicker as I drove. Once I arrived at Cherry Cove I saw 6 flying over the parkway before fog completely engulfed the area. I stopped in several places to eat, hoping fog would lift, to no avail.

Drove back down to Licklog Ridge Overlook, about mm 436 at an elevation of 4602 feet. All counted were flyovers that were definitely working hard because they were flying directly into a south wind. I should have just stayed there all day-definitely the most action of the day.

Counted 276 at this site from 1:30-2:00 pm. They were trickling through 2-5 at a time.. Hoping the wind shifts tomorrow.
