Wife and I went up today with the catfish and the colors are perfect. Fore those that are into this stuff, You do not have much time left. We ate at Big Meadows for lunch. Weather was mid 50's and the farther north we went, the cooler and windier it got. It got cold enough that we could see our breath on the balcony at the restaurant at Big Meadows. Wife did not run into any snakes this visit either, ha.    My ugly mug   The catfish  The further north we got, the windier it was. It was windy as **** up by Skyland. Wife trying to take a pic.  She was aggravated, ha ha  Our view coming out of the restaurant at Big Meadows  |

Beautiful pics! Took the train down to Charlottesville this weekend and did some hiking and apple picking. Given how much rain the forest has gotten you may have another week or two of foliage.
Get out and enjoy! |

last time i was in the MTNs of western Va it was in the mid 20's(noon) and with the wind chill it was right frosty. it was so cold when we washed our jeeps off at one of those pressure washer places if you sprayed the water up in the air by the time it hit the ground it was frozen.
 that was late afternoon. been trying for years to get the wife to go out there but she is a beach person.

I was camping in the GW wilderness this weekend and hit the Apple Butter Festival in Tyro on Saturday. I always love the mountains this time of year. I also love fresh apple cider!

I was backpacking on the east side of the park this weekend near the Rapidan. Great weather. Saw two snakes, only about 3 bugs.

Wife, myself and the 2 sons used to make a fall trip in the motorhome for a weekend at Loft Mountain campground on Sky Line Drive every year. Camp ground is on top of the mountain and the deer walk thru the campsites in the evening with the skunks and coons coming out at night. We had many a frosty morning at that elevation. One summer we started on Blue Ridge Parkway at Waynesboro and went all the way to Bryson City near the end of the parkway. I was born in that area and my Dad and Mom grew up there, I've still got relatives around Bryson City. My dad worked on the southern end of the parkway with the CCC camps during the Depression.

I am only a 20 minute drive to Blue Ridge Parkway from where I work. Went up to Humpback Rocks on Tuesday. My mom's ashes were spread up there so I tend to hike up there once a month or so.

It's no biggie, she passed in 93 so it's really nice to hike up there these days. Thanks though |
