Hello from the Blue Ridge Mountains

Very nice bike there and some beautiful scenery. Are they lonesome pines in the background ?

I know you're joking, but, if I understand my forest history, those should be second or third growth hardwoods. The original growth was softwoods, pines and hemlock, that were timbered off in the late 1800s and very early 1900s as lightweight building materials.
