I think the above view is looking south or southeast off the Veterans Overlook on Clinch Mountain...
not sure about the view above but the one below is looking East. Maybe a little bit northeast.
Just thought I would show a bit more the part of the country that I grew up in.
When we took Driver's Ed in high school we drove over Clinch mountain....then it was a two laned highway with one switchback after another....I was glad it was not me doing the driving. Now it is a four lanes. Such a big change to how it was. I bet the truck drivers really appreciate it...
I also wish I had views from back then...I don't know how the big rigs made it over. Or maybe they took a different route.
