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?

Mudflats of Lake Tomahawk

Lake Tomahawk is being drained...
The island is  surrounded by mud flats
Even the little creek from Walker Cove is low

The dam is so bare with just tree stumps, waiting to be taken out.





People are even playing within the dried out mud of the lake bottom




The sign says the roots of the trees in the dam will be removed, and new landscaping will be completed by the spring.  Guess what next week is, folks?

At least it's nice that there's no smell from the lake bottom, and lots of folks still come out on sunny days to play around this hole.  After a week of rainy days, it was welcome!

    I left a blog for the Day.
