Arriving in North Carolina

Heading south on I-77, crossing from Virginia into North Carolina, you descend from about 2,800 feet at Fancy Gap to about 1,350 feet at the state line; along the way, the driving gets interesting. Apparently, warm, moist air comes up from North Carolina and, when it reaches an altitude with cooler air, you get some excellent fog (if fog can be excellent.) Linda and I were both impressed that there were permanently mounted road signs that warned of fog. It's just part of being here I guess.

That little yellow tab on the dash is the sensor for my GPS unit. It was actually attached to Linda's laptop computer. Preparing this entry, I used information it logged to confirm where we'd been and the altitude information.
