Beautiful time of year....

Post by MacLaren »

This is my favorite time of year. When the leaves turn & the air gets CRISP! Those leaves sizzle and become absolutely beautiful overnight...the crisp air never ever fails to bring back fond memories of football seasons past!

I love this time of year. We used to live up in Boone and driving through those mountains was always a joy.

Very nice. That strip through North Alabama and GA, through E. TN, NC, WV, VA, is simply incomparable in beauty.

We have some maples just like those in Banner Elk. They're so nice.

Beautiful picture MacLaren!
Brings back memories :-) I graduated from high school in Burnsville just west of there in 1988, a year after they finished the viaduct; many fond memories of that area!

Yessir, I remember well when the Viaduct was completed in '87
It was a true Marvel of Engineering!
