in other words, no.

Suppose you drag the canoe and don't ever paddle. Is that hiking?

I've known it was coming for almost six months now, and I've already gotten everything lined up to go back for my Masters in Teaching so I'm actually pretty happy about it... I consider it a much desired, compulsory career change. :)

Anybody have any insight into how to spend four or five days in Northern SNP? I've done Cedar Run, Whiteoak Canyon and Old Rag before and would like to revisit those, but are there any other must sees? Preferably off the beaten path?

I've been looking at a few ideas this morning and I think I may just park at Skyland and wander around for a few days. :)

Mt. Cardigan is nearby Concord and is said to have great trails and views. It's on the New England Fifty Finest prominence list. Or you could do Monadnock, near Manchester, popular and, I can attest, awesome. You could knock either one off in a morning.

Type a fairly long post real fast then hit post quick reply. It will lock up. A window will appear giving you the choice to leave this page or stay on this page. Choose stay on this page. The window will disappear. Watch the lower right hand corner. When auto saved appears and then disappears you can then click post quick reply. Sometime right after you choose stay on this page you can click post quick reply and it will post it right away without the auto-saved message, Sometimes not.
