These are some beautiful pictures! Have some beautiful scenery here in Western North Carolina also, but haven’t taken pics of Rubiblue in her natural habitat. That definitely is now added on the “to do” list.
Lol! Yeah Uwharrie is central NC, but there are some great trails. WNC including the Appalachian, Blue Ridge, and Black Mountain ranges, has many 5 and 6 thousand foot peaks with incredible scenery, but no elevation like the Rockies and Sierra ranges. We call that clay ‘red’, and it definitely leaves a mark!
