No, Frank, you and Mark may have seen Wonderful Rainbows but *I* saw the Best Double Rainbow Ever on the Blue Ridge Parkway on *my* way down to GFM with my family the following month!!! And we found it at one of those scenic pullouts thoughtfully provided on the way. This is why I know it was a better rainbow than yours, because it was not only spectacular but also considerate enough to show itself where we actually could pull out tripods and cameras and shoot until the colours faded! :-) ERNR ever competitive ...
