Headed South

The beautiful scenery continued this morning as we left Asheville, NC and headed south to Atlanta. We got lost on a state highway and have never made so many hairpin turns in our lives. We were both queasy for quite a while after that adventure. Tonight we are spending the night just outside of Montgomery, AL. We will have lunch with Don's Aunt Vicki and Uncle T.C., his sister Debby and brother-in-law Deke on the way home tomorrow. I have attached some additional pictures of our trip through the mountains.


As we reached the top of the mountain in the Nantahala Forest in North Carolina, this is what was there to greet us...pea soup. It was a straight drop off the side of the mountain on my side of the car! Needless to say I was quite unnerved by this experience.
The beautiful colors continued once we were out of the fog. We finally made it to Helen, GA, a cute little Alpine styled town, we did not visit very long as it was very touristy and not really what we expected. Our last stop before heading for home was at Stone Mountain, GA. We paid to park and then got up to the ticket gate and realized it is an amusement park AND they were having a Halloween celebration. There must have been 500 children headed into the park. We took this picture from the parking lot and headed out!
