10. Oh, yes - beautiful area
My son lives in a little town in Greene County - we drove a good portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway when I last visited him. Just gorgeous. I love western Virginia. :hi:

7. Lovely....
I'm insanely jealous of your back porch view! I've got a new acoustic guitar, and I'd love to be sitting there with a cocktail strumming placidly....

13. It's perfect for that. And you would not believe the night sky on
a clear night. You can see every falling star and every twinkle of every star.

23. Pilot Mountain!
I have family in Greensboro and Winston. We travel the back roads from Charleston to get there and pass Pilot Mountain every trip.

:hi:

It's my favorite part of the world.

25. My favorite place too,lg. I can see almost the whole northern
piedmont of NC. Because if the sunlight and clouds, it changes almost hourly. I had just finished building a deck back there just for the view.
