Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

What belongs and what doesn't...

OK, we've had breakfast, and now it's morning nap time.

But what's this?

Lake Tomahawk never floods, it has controls where the water goes out, and the level doesn't get higher than a few inches.

The big sluice is part of the drainage, and there's another valve that is turned to release water out a big pipe below the dam.

So I knew right away last Monday morning, how the Stop Sign had ended up in the lake.  Young people having their idea of fun.  I saw this as a younger-than-I-am man walked along with his dog.  I asked him "did you do things like that when you were a kid? I sure didn't."  He kind of looked surprised to have me ask him.  His dog just took it in stride.  (The sign was gone the next time I walked!)

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
