This is the road to the top of Max Patch mountain. I wish I could give you an interesting story about how that name came about, but I don't have a clue. This route is a narrow, gravel road with little traffic that encourages one to drive slow and enjoy the scenery. We chose to go leaf looking on this road because it isn't filled with speeding touristas like the Blue Ridge Parkway is at this time of year. As I wrote before, this season's color isn't matching the past two years, but you can still find some pretty trees along the way like these. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

A gorgeous shot John! LOVE it!
Oh how I wish I could stroll along there...just me and my thoughts...and my camera! It's lovely!
Now this one should be on a calendar page or at least framed for your wall. Beautiful John.
