Well, I went to White Top Mountain yesterday with my dad but it was COLD and cloudy. It was 20 F on top of the mountain and you couldn't see very far at all so I went back today but my dad didn't go, so I stopped at the coffee shop in Damascus and was talking with a friend of mine who is in his late 60s and on oxygen. He asked what I had done yesterday and I told him and also told him I was going back today to try and get some photos. He asked if I needed a tour guide and I told him yes. Well we got to talking and I found out that he has served in the Navy as an electronics technician, specifically the encrypted encoders and such. I had a blast listening to his stories. Some sad some humorous. He drives a shuttle van for one of the bike rental businesses in Damascus now and had some funny stories to tell about that to. All in all a very good weekend. Oh and it was in the 30s today. Here are some shots from both days. Today's is a panoramic. I hope it's not to big, I cut it down to 10% of it's original size. Your looking south towards North Carolina and Tennessee.
