I wrote this somewhere on the Blue Ridge Parkway, what started out as nice weather soon turned, it was still an interesting drive in and out of the fog patches.

 

22.04.11 - 80) I left the visitor center that morning

A sign stating a fog warning

But a wish from a friendly ranger

For a journey free from danger

Hopefully I thought driving away

The gentle rain would keep it away

At first it seemed I was in luck

On that road forbidden to truck

As northwards I did go

The mist confined to the valley below

Then perhaps the wind shifted

From the valley the mist lifted

The rain stopped the sun began to shine

It seemed the day was going to be fine

From outlooks I’d tarry a while

To enjoy the view mile after mile

Panoramic in the valley below

Showing forest, river and pond,

Small towns and what lay beyond

To the horizon it did go

But it wasn’t to last as the fog came down fast

Like an eerie ghostly scene, light on see and be seen

The to add to the strain, there came more Appalachian rain

Continued to fall drop by drop, I wondered if it would ever stop

Making a downward gear shift, will this fog ever lift?

Everything looks so surreal take it steady no tyre squeal

Take regular breaks and rest so I’m always at my best
