We had a
wonderful drive the rest of the way to Spruce Pine. We decided to see a
bit of the Blue Ridge Parkway between Asheville and Spruce Pine despite
the impending rain. It turned out to be a very interesting sixty mile
drive along the Parkway with rain, fog, and even clouds! With the
humidity levels, it was a lesson in cloud building as they formed low in
the valleys and rose up and over the Parkway. We even had a thunderstorm
develop at near eye-level on the west side of the Parkway with thunder,
lightening, and rain.
