A commemorative make-good

MVJ on August 31st, 2010

gghiker has added a photo to the pool: We took a trip out of town last weekend that included dining and a sunset on Mount Mitchell. Well, the dining was excellent, but the cloud that parked itself on top of the mountain never let up or blew away, so we couldn’t really see much of anything, much less a sunset. And I didn’t get any new photos out of it, but here’s one from last year of the new tower itself that I never got around to posting. And I wish I had something new to add, but it didn’t work out that way. We still had a wonderful time, but no views. Sorry, folks, that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Heading toward Grandfather Mountain

gb_packards- Catching up has added a photo to the pool: If you view this photo in its original size you will see my oldest son Bill waiting by the side of the road while Im taking these pictures along this part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Ahead is Grandfather Mountain. We drove over a thousand miles along the Parkway on our motorcycles, taking in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Tennessee before heading north for home.
