Wanted: Solitude!

I need to go to a state park or wilderness. I need some solitude and clean air and Mother Nature's silence (no machinery).

Linville Gorge Wilderness area, taken along the Kistler Highway (name of the "highway" is misleading--it's actually a sometimes poorly maintained gravel road. the name is left over from days long past when it was, in fact, considered a major road).

Mackey Mountain old growth forest, Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina.

I honestly can't recall the name of this waterfall. I want to say "Blue Hole" in eastern Tennessee.

Roan High Knob, Tennessee. (One of Tennessee's 6,000-foot summits.

The summit of Unaka Mountain on the TN/NC border. Walk west and you're in Tennessee. Stroll to the right and you're standing in North Carolina. The Appalachian Trail runs over the top.
