I had occasion to ride out to Murphy today to see an old friend who was passing through. There were some pretty big storms this afternoon; this is as they were breaking up among the ridges there. I went out through the Nantahala Gorge, but came back that way.
You’re right. It was really pretty enjoyable, and the rain kept the traffic to a minimum. Foolishly, since some of the most amazing views in the mountains occur with the rain.
Yes. Years ago I got some great images of the Matterhorn with a thunderstorm moving in. Looked like a set from LOTR. The wildness of weather is largely lost, or at least not immediate, riding in an enclosed vehicle.

The overlook at Richland Balsam on the Parkway?
No, this is the overlook on US 64 between Murphy and Franklin.

Nice ride.
It's fun to ride in a nice clean rain, heavy enough to wash the visor, on a road with no traffic.
