The leaves were past peak and the temperatures cold. It was mostly cloudy and not the perfect day to be on Skyline Drive, but we enjoyed the drive all the same. After most of the day driving the ridge crest for 70 miles at 35 mph we decided to expedite matters and go down the mountain to visit Hayden. Leon could not agree more.
But we did enjoy one short hike on the Appalachian Trail before we left the park. The views were magnificent.
What a surprise when we pulled off at one of the many overlooks and a national park ranger walked over to Leon's window. We had a delightful visit with a young man from Hot Springs. Coby Bishop says hi to everyone. After our visit further down the road a camper had broken down and he was helping direct traffic hence the brightly colored outfit.

Here I thought you were heading South to get warm and you head up hill!
After 70 miles we did go down the hill and today it was 77 degrees in Raleigh, NC
