Backtrack: Pilot Mountain State Park 050715

I found these pictures posted on my Facebook page in May 2015. As mentioned in the brief post below, I was driving to my 35th college class reunion when I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the Pilot Mountain State Park in East Bend, North Carolina. I had to save the compressed photos from Facebook until I find the originals, so the quality is not so good. Still, I find them worth sharing. BTW, RB is my dearly departed Red Barron car.

The post and pictures follow:

RB and I heading to North Carolina for my 35th class reunion. Sunrise over the mountains is so beautiful, even looking past the dead bugs on RB’s windshield. Then, I realized that, with all my journeying through the great American west, I hadn’t visited the Pilot Mountain State Park in my own home state. So,… why not now? Before 8 a.m. on a Thursday, I had the park to myself, so there is the seemingly obligatory selfie. Then, a gentleman walked through and said he had wanted to see the park on his way to work. He was kind enough to take the shot of me in the park.
