The RiverStone grill lot - the lunch stop between the Cherohala Skyway and the Dragon. The whole loop was 175 miles:


Damned tractor:


Lined up to take on the Dragon (and State Troopers and County Mounties):

Dammed river:


Another great day on the Skyway:

Scary in the AM fog:


Hellbender overlook:


Heading into some evil fog:


Fontana Lake:


The lake:


Up on the dam:
