Monarch migration

We’re on our way to the Asheville area to see monarchs by the thousands… we decided to go all the way down the BRP from Charlottesville Va. In the area of Arnold Valley overlook (3510 elevation), we found hundreds of monarchs (and some hawks) migrating.  We should see thousands over the next couple days when we are in the Ashville area where larger numbers cross the parkway.
