Must've been up high fairly early to see the "hore frost". Some nice colors but still on the muted side isn't it??? Good pics, thanks for sharing.

Absolutely Beautiful

Beautiful pictures!

Great pictures, enjoy that drive, anytime of year. Couple of nice hikes and waterfalls along the way, and we always visit the Joyce Kilmer National Forest on the NC end. Some of the trees there are over 400 years old, sorta like some the old Geezers on here rotfl

It was spotty. that is not frost that is Ice. Must if had a rain rite before it got to the freezing mark. It was 33 degrees where we turned around.

Saw a lot of Hemlocks above the 3,000 ft mark that had died. don't know whats going on with that.

Beautiful

Gotta love fall in the south...

Look up Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, a not so friendly bugger to the Hemlocks in Eastern North America.

Nice pics ! Thanks for sharing.

Will do thanks

Was there second week of October. A lot further along now. I’ve only hit it perfect one time in my life.

Beautiful. Been several decades since we have been in East Tn. But, we still have the pictures.

Spent the last 2 days off mulching and bagging the foilage after it fell in my yard:biggrin

That's something that I have to do too, but got side tracked by all of the rain and wind that we've had here lately.
Awesome pics brother. Glad you got to make the trip... and thanks so much for taking us along with you.

The Honda bagger mower would go about 20 feet and then the bag was full. I have 16 mulched up bags of leaves to use for compost. Once the chickens get done enriching them I should have some good organic fertilizer for the raised beds
