    Default Missing Link of Foothills Parkway opened

    FWIW-----the missing link of the Foothills Parkway opens to the public tomorrow (weather permitting).....

    Took decades to build...

    Should be interesting to check out a "new" part of the Park...

    This is the most discouraging news I've heard in a while. Why? Because like the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway---it'll get swarmed by loud racing motorcyclists with little or no mufflers and cover more of our mountains with their noise pollution.

    I can hear the "Dragon's Anus" all thru the northern section of Slickrock wilderness---and the Cherohala "Screamway" ruins the Unicoi Mts from Hooper and Huckleberry Knobs to Whiggs Meadow and all the way thru the high ground on Bob's Bald and Hangover Mt and down into the Citico side.

    Hang on a while. Once fossil fuels run out, all the noise will cease. Gotta be patient. As Ed Abby wrote. "nature always bats last".
    Everyone has a photographic memory. Not everyone has film.
