This was the first time we had been in the Smoky Mountains in autumn. I have learned to appreciate the mountains and the changing weather conditions.I was hopeful the Smoky Mountains would give me the change I was hopeful for. The road we were located is actually located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but the view includes both clain of mountains. The valley areas show signs of some fog developing, there were enough clouds overhead and in the distance to significantly change the lighting. There were some other locations further down the road and I just hoped I had chosen well.
