High up on the Tanawha Trail overlooking the Linn Cove Viaduct which is a 1243-foot concrete segmental bridge which snakes around the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. It was completed in 1983 at a cost of $10 million and was the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished. It is said to be the most complicated concrete bridge ever built..... Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

The mountains in the distance are beautiful, and so is your shot of this area. Is there room for a collapsing chair and a beer cooler?
