| Highway 215, North Carolina --10/23/18 |
From October 22-26, 2018, we were "on the ROAD" with our good friends, Neal and Patti. We met in Maggie Valley, North Carolina for a few days of fun, photography, eating (of course), and traveling the ROADS. We packed in a lot into those few days: seeing the Elk in Cataloochee, traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking and seeing several waterfalls, traveling the Balsam Mountain Road and the Heintooga Ridge Road, and visiting other 'back' roads --such as Highway 215 and Highway 276.
I kept noticing while going through all of my many, many photos from that trip, just how many pictures I had taken from the roads we had been on that week. SO--today, just get a cup of your favorite beverage, sit back and take a ride with us on several of the ROADS we traveled.

Hope you enjoyed our little ROAD Trip today... We were a little early for the brilliant Autumn Colors this year (since everything was about 2+ weeks late due to such a warm October)---but as you can see from some of these pictures, we did see some beauties here and there. You will note from the pictures that the colors got better with each day that we were there!!
We loved every minute just being with Neal and Patti. The four of us have a lot in common ---so traveling together is very special!
Hugs,
