After the fire department open house on Sunday, we ran home got Libby and Calvin and made a dash for Mt. Mitchell. It's only 15 miles north of us, but because the south approach on the parkway is closed, we had to go to Marion and thence to the peak. It was gorgeous. Had we been able to go earlier it would have been even better with less haze, but it was still a nice trip. Cold though: 48 degrees at the peak. It was 74 in town. We came down via Route 80 which we do not recommend for the weak of heart! It's almost as twisty as Route 111 in Virginia. Briggs was kind of green before we had come down halfway! Here are some photos including a couple of Calvin contentedly sitting on the floor of the museum area.
