    I would like to have seen Grandfather Mountain when we drove on the Parkway. We drove the Parkway several times. I would have loved to have crossed the bridge. The views that you saw were gorgeous. The CD that you got gave great information on the route up to the top of the mountain. I can imagine the mountain is spectacular in the spring and summer when the flowers are in bloom. I kept thinking that you were going to fall off the mountain with all of the peaks that you walk on, LOL. Fantastic video, Will. Say HELLO for me to SMV. His videos are great, too. 🙂😉

    I've never been to Grandfather Mountain so thanks for taking us there. I would only be able to walk across the bridge. As I have gotten older I no longer take scary risks such as climbing on the rocks with the scary drop offs. What a view that would be in the fall in peak color. The area is probably packed with people then. Good job getting up and down those cliffs!

    I loved Grandfather Mountain. They still have Mildred & cubs, the Eagle, the cougar. Neat! It was awesome coming up 421(?) in the fall seeing the blanket of gold. That whole mountainside was golden colored. Do they still have the bagpipers at the Scottish festivals? Do they still have the hang-gliders? Did they still have their theater inside? Then we ventured to Blowing Rock. Boone was really an exciting place to visit. We enjoyed several areas of the Parkway as well near here. Really beautiful scenery. Had no idea Forest Gump ran that curve.
