Off the Blue Ridge Parkway


















We have continued to have glorious weather for being outside.  Mountains, water and fall colors!  Michael and I have learned to use our trekking poles when walking on paths.  It makes a big difference.  I am sad to realize that my knee is never going to handle full out hiking. The poles help make trail ups and downs more manageable.  They offer support and help with balance.  Once upon a time I could scamper up these trails, but now that I lost some cartilage and my ACL, it just isn't gonna happen. Today we needed to turn back just as things were getting interesting. Oh well. On the other hand we saw a hiking group today that consisted of seniors.  They were doing pretty good.
