Sky High!

Taken after a recent expedition. Purely coincidental that the "best" (used loosely) shots all turned out to be from the same relative angle.











Anybody recognize the scenery?

I do - even though I don't see any of the pics you posted, thanks to our network ***** and your sub-standared hosting service.

You're disqualified from guessing especially since you didn't know what they were on the other board

And my hosting service is anything but substandard, sir. Lie and say you need flickr to do important gubment work.

The parkway is a great thing... I used to live a few miles from it up in boone, nc and went up there all the time to just drive and go hiking... btw, where were you at in the pictures?

Skyline Parkway. Those pics were all taken starting at the Front Royal Entrance heading south about 50 or so miles. I turned around because the deer started getting a little too friendly (read stupid).

I think it's called "nature pollution" or something.

Looks a lot like the Blue Ridge parkway around Asheville, NC.

No, for the last two months or so, it has been raining almost every day. I used to love the rain, and even wanted to move to Washington, but now that I have experienced this much rain for so damn long, I'm cool. Anyway, nice pics.

it was between 1200 and 3500 feet, so not that high up. I definitely didn't notice any major changes in the car's behavior.


Maybe if I had a supercharger I'd get better performance at high altitudes. I hear that's what they're designed for.










(The last two sentences are an inside joke that only one person will get, so don't flame me for "not knowing how a supercharger works" )
