Nothing to do before next monday to regularise my situation, I decided to head North in the Appalachian.
I slept near a small lake under Grandfather Mountain and enjoyed a gorgious sunrise.

1) Grandfather Mountain late afternnon. The night will be rainy and cool…
 

 
 
2) early Wake up, no cloud in the sky. I Wake up to enjoy the sunrise on the small lake.
 

 
 
3) The sun arrives…
 

 
 
4) … and brings colors with him!
 

 
 
5) Contrejour…
 

 
 
6) some hundreds yards further, what a spectacular sighting…
 

 
 
7) …Still Grandfather Mountain in the back.
 

 
 
8) At this altitude – about 3’600 feets high – leaves trees are everywhere.
 

 
 
9) VivaLaVida continues to head North on nice forest roads…
 

 
 
10) Clouds arrive but sightings are still awesome…
 

 
 
11) The spot I wanted to see is closed because of the shutdown. Never mind, I drive back, stopping sometimes to take pictures… 😉
 

 
 
12) Back to the Grandfather Mountain late afternoon when the rain comes back. I still did a hike in that wild area…
 

 
 
13) dawn is coming, time for me to go back to VivaLaVida and find a place to sleep…
 

 
 
I wish a good wwek to all of you ! 😀
