Day 2 (Tue Mar 10, 2009): Mt. Mitchell/Blue Ridge Parkway

Mount Mitchell

Great views of the surrounding mountains. In the United States, it's the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. A worthwhile visit if traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, NC.

Surprisingly, few people around on this day! In the lower 60's, wind around 5mph or so.

Peaks of Otter: Deer

Serene, relaxed environment viewed from the back deck of my room at Peaks of Otter.

Notice that the deer are too focused to respond to my noises.

Another video of a grazing deer.

Peaks of Otter, as of 2009, has no cell reception and no television. It's good to be disconnected.

Dwindling light. Beautiful location near Abbott Lake.
