If you look closely, you might just spot a bighorn...

@Thomas Hastings I might make the Old NC 105 trip some time, may be this year or next year. Seems like there's great scenery out there.

Thought this was pretty cool.

I think it has some pretty good views for sure, plenty of dispersed camping as well.

@Thomas Hastings What was the thing in the middle that started rolling to make that snow wheel?

@Thomas Hastings What was the thing in the middle that started rolling to make that snow wheel?

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen one and as best as I could tell, it was just snow, nothing in particular in the middle.

Apparently they’re called snow rollers and form by a chunk of snow rolling down a hill or being blown along the ground by the wind.

@Thomas Hastings Cool, I've never heard of that. I imagine snow falling off a tree onto a slope could result in that, too. Ain't this world a work of art? I think God made physics cause this cool stuff just to be awesome, and may be so we can see how physics operate.

Agreed!!

Doing a wee bit more research, wiki says it’s a rare meteorological phenomenon. I know it’s the first time I’ve ever seen one of those things.
