Description
Traveling down the Blue Ridge Parkway doing photograph work in our small travel trailer, we stopped for the night where we wanted near Cahas Knob. This particular night I captured in another photo an unusual cloud formation I didn't remember ever seeing, called a Roll Cloud or an Arcus Cloud. Later I found it is a harbinger of high winds. We were off the grid. If we had known we would have moved to another location. That night there were gale force winds and we wondered if our small trailer would blow over. Earlier we had retrofitted her with extra stabilizer bars for just such weather. Still it was the first time we had encountered heavy winds. Located on a top ridge line of the Pisgah National Forest, the tiny road leads you eye to this scenic tree with storm clouds in the background near sunset.
