Winter Linville Gorge
On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the trail-head parking lot made me think I was in trouble when it was time to go home.
Views going north along the rim and a view of Table Rock maountain
The trail goes along this very steep section. The trail is about 2 feet wide in some spots with nothing to the one side except air.
Early the next morning I was able to get out as the ice was still very hard on the road. That Honda has been places that an Accord has no reason to be.

The Honda most likely has a year round tread. Discover the drive wheels, front or back and jump for a winter tread as I just did for the Ford Hybrid and you will laugh at winter and ice.
