May 5, 1983, 41 years ago today: There was a nice view along the way from Ramrock Mountain's ridge crest and there were some excellent vistas from the summit of Big Cedar Mountain.

It was still early spring at those elevations in Georgia, so there was not a lot of foliage to block the views. There was plenty of green in the valley far below, but trees were just beginning to bud up here.

A bit farther down the mountainsides bright green leaves were just beginning to sprout on some of the trees, while most of the others sported blossoms of pink or violet or red. The warm sunshine steadily drew up the recent rainfall into a soft haze that created vistas of muted pastels.

More distant valleys were cloaked in misty blues and aquas, the same effect viewed in reverse that led the people who lived in those valleys to name these mountains The Blue Ridge.
