The photo is taken from the bridge that leads to the Institute at Tremont. Look how lush compared to the late fall 2007. Whoa.

We enjoyed (the BGE and moi) a little Tuesday ride on the scooter. In less than two hours we motor-paced to and from the Institute at Tremont in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s 42 miles up and back and we covered it in 55 minutes up and 50 minutes back. Good times. Scootie and BGE did “good.”
