Cherohala Skyway

With a break in the incessant rain, Steven had the fever, anticipated a breathtaking ride at dusk, so we left in the late afternoon, headed West, toward Tennessee's Tellico Plains. It was quite a ride, not what we expected.

Trying to get over the Cherokee National Forest before dark, we rode through the damp, low clouds that settled thickly over the Cherohala Skyway. No visibility and Steven said, "How about taking some pictures with your camera now."

Sometimes he is such a wise guy.

The clarity was unbelievable once we got down below the clouds. I was able to take this shot on the Tennessee side of the Skyway.
