Very nice! I’m planning a short trip up to Giles County an early December. Hopefully the weather will be decent!

PS — Drive the speed limit. No, I personally haven’t been ticketed, but I’ve seen and I’ve heard. Not necessarily bad news — the state police nailed my Ex once :>)
I noticed how pretty it was in the Appalachians last weekend. Glad I had my video camera with me!
Beautiful!

Thanks. It was late afternoon & the sun was angling in from left-of-frame. Helped bring out the colors.
I was in that area in Oct 2005. I was coming down off the mountains near Bluefield on I-77 into VA. Sunday morning, about 10am not a cloud in the sky or a car on the road.
I don't think I even had my foot on the accelerator and was going about 75-80. Yup. Nailed me. Some sheriff's dept. Can't remember which it was. He got a chuckle out of it. At least one of us did.
