Anyhoo, just FYI, that region isn't called the great Smokey Mountains for kicks and giggles. Along the Cherohala Skyway there was fog like i've never seen. Kristen/KBelle said it was clouds and it sure seemed like it...man talk about thickness. So we were trekking the skyway and ran into the cloud. All the bugs started to slowly disappear in the fog/cloud. From my view, Sully, who was in front of me vanished in the fog. His once visible rear fog lights were gone; didn't noticed him turning or anything, just gone. So best and safest thing to do was to drive by instruments- follow the center line as you simultaneously look ahead making sure you don't slam into anything- and that's what I did. I kept on driving until we emerged from the cloud and I pulled over until we had bug sign. sure enough the rest of the crew came out of the cloud as I did and all was good. So moving forward was the best idea.

Stopping on highway in zero visibility fog to find someone = bad outcome.
driving slowly until fog clears = better outcome.
It made sense to me.

Anyhoo that's the story my friend. If i'm forever lampooned for that, oh well.

Al, the good thing is that this year, someone else will be the one who gets picked on! (Not that I want it to be me, mind you!!)
