Leaf Peepin'? on the BRP
Mid October is usually a good time to head up the Blue Ridge to see some fall colors.
I had family in town this weekend and didn't think that I'd have a chance to do any riding. But it was decided that I could escort them out of town this afternoon.
1st stop is for an early afternoon lunch on Lake Lure....things are still looking pretty Green here.
Where's the color!?!
I followed them over the Mt through Green Gerton.....and away they went.
As it turned out the BRP was closed in both directions from Asheville today but word was that I could get to Mt Mitchell from the North side.
So I blasted my way up Curtis Creek and soon found myself atop the Blue Ridge.
Green still seemed to be the predominant color....except for that White cloud hovering over the Black Mtns.
Just a splash of yellow here and there...I thought there'd be more by now.
That one cloud just hugging the top of that mountain under a clear blue sky........
....it just begs for you take a closer look....
What's it trying to hide anyway? :bom_annoyed:
