Sometimes the best thing could happen when you don't really plan. I try to be a planner myself, though I also enjoy being spontaneous a lot of times. The last time I spent time in the Appalachian area was at Smokey Mountain Nation Park many years ago. I thought I have seen it all then. Clearly I was wrong. After driving on a small portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway on a misty late afternoon, it has been a blessing to know there are plenty of opportunities to view the mountain ridges at each overlook. The fog after the rain slowly moving on the mountain tops was magnificent. There were people sitting at the back of their van enjoying the view alone quietly. There were people simply covering themselves with a blanket on the ground with the view right in front of them. I chose to climb on the cliff to see as much as I could see because I know my time was limited. I couldn't ask for more with this view and I can take it anytime! The mountains are smokin'!
