Roan Mountain









Our final fling in TN was to revisit Roan Mtn. to see the wild rhododendrons in bloom. They were blooming, but we were a few days too early for the peak bloom. We backtracked down the mountain to Carver's Gap where the AT crosses the pass. Oh my gosh, the pass is field for the most part and the scenery was breathtaking! Usually, photos just don't do justice to beautiful scenery; but, here I think words are inadequate. Notice the natural specimen I caught sunning himself on a rock. :)
We have rolled up our awning, pulled in our slides, released our wheels and we're on our way to Luray, VA near the Shenandoah Nat'l Park. Tulip is excited about another road trip!

    Breathtakingly beautiful---even that petrified person on the rock!! Love the jeans and even a light jacket as we're burning up in "Searing Satsuma"!! Tell Tulip the ride is getting her out of the heat and maybe she'll be better!! Still have the puppy....

    Albert taking a nap . . . just the way I remember backpacking trips. Glad all goes well. Hoping I can connect along the trail when you arrive in the Northeast.
