Why it's called the Blue Ridge

Blue...yes.

I was glad to see the Parkway open again to Mt. Mitchell.  But the weather wasn't quite up to driving that far today.

I'll show you how far I went tomorrow.  I did get to the Craggy Gardens area...and shot lots of photos.

After an orange cloud — formed as a result of a dust storm over the Sahara and caught up by air currents — reached the Philippines and settled there with rain, I understood that we are all sailing in the same boat.    Vladimir Kovalyonok (Astronaut)
