I love mountains. I always have. But life circumstances planted me in the midst of flatland along the Gulf Coast. Even many of our vacations have steered us away from the high country, missing the higher altitudes and views that accompany it. I’m going to have to do something about that in the future.

My most recent trip to the mountains was to Virginia almost two years ago. This is another one of the great views along Skyline Drive during that same trip.
