A FAR DIFFERENT VIEW of the mountains from the Blue Ridge Parkway link on
Soco Gap compared to that seen by summer visitors is this frost scene photographed
last Saturday, looking toward Highway 19 and Maggie Valley.
HIGH ABOVE PIGEON GAP the woods on Cash Edwards' farm were turned into a
frozen wilderness by the rime which remained on mountain tops in Haywood County
for four days last week. This scene was taken some 750 feet above Highway 276.
LIKE FINE LACE was the rime clinging to the branches of this tree near the old
loc house on Soco Gap Friday at noon. At this picture was taken, a bright sun
was starting to melt the frost. (Mountaineer Photos'.
