Default Beautiful Day for a Skyway Ride!!!

While yall was at work today, Dona & I left out about 9.30 for the Cherohala Skyway! OMG what a beautiful day! We had the Skyway road virtually all to ourselves, very little traffic. The scenery was breathtaking. Stopped at one of the overlooks & had a picnic lunch that Dona had prepared on the wall of the overlook. I cant describe how peacful and relaxing it was. All stress and worries were left at home, & somehow seemed alot less important when we returned home about 4.45. This was better than any therapy could possibly have been. Wasn't sure about the directions to make the loop back through Robinsonville & Murphy, didnt look for directions, we just followed our nose & it all worked out. I figured the world is round so we would have to eventually make it back. Had a great time, love that particular ride.

Wow, that absolutely sounds like the perfect day. Going up there during the week has to be awesome! I think we need a redo, but a few others (like me!) need to tag along with you two!

Brother Hubbs,

I'm glad you and Miss Dona had a wonderful time on the Skyway! 'Tis a truly wondrous place. The views there are gorgeous beyond belief, and it can be a wonderful psychlogical elixir, provided one lets it do its magic. Apparently you let it, and that's wonderful.

GOOD FOR YOU, Dwayne! I'm glad somebody got to ENJOY this wonderful day! And I'm glad it was YOU AND MISS DONA!!

The WHOLE GA Crew needs to ride the Cherohala again... VERY SOON! I LOVE THAT ride!

Ken

My husband andi just did that ride last week. We spent a couple days in Murphy, NC and rode the Dragon too. We were the only people we saw on the road as well. Weather is just too good to be true.
