It was a gorgeous day today. The youth handbell ensemble, which normally rehearses on Sunday afternoons rang this morning (wonderfully!), so I gave them the afternoon off. That left us footloose and fancy-free for the afternoon. We decided to try Clingman's Dome again, on the NC-TN border. Here is a panorama video from the lookout tower at the summit. The crowd in the tower just didn't understand the need for silence and respect as I shot the video. The view starts towards the NW, with Mt. Mitchell barely visible at 73 miles distance. The view taking off parallel to the ramp follows the NC-TN border. (Briggs got to see some tennis today!) Here is an excursion below the walk-up ramp to find a hidden surprise amongst the vegetation below. It was 70 degrees in Black Mountain when we left, and a good 15 degrees cooler at 6643' at the summit; still, we didn't expect to find this! The tower doesn't really lean like you see it in the photo! We had a great time!
