WOW! Shari, I thought I was some kind of nut for the way I feel for the entire run of the Appalachian Range, and particularly, that portion that includes "Almost Heaven, WV, and what must certainly be "This is Heaven" NC. Regardless of where the destination or time of year, I am in complete awe of it all. It was great to realize I am not alone, and probably far less crazy than I am attuned to the wonder of it all. Your colorful, well written, and obviously heart felt account of that fantastic journey fills me with anticipation.
Peace, Out
