I want to hike Old Rag... can you believe I haven't hiked that yet? I don't want a bear sitting on my butt, eating my bread, tho.

Here's a great sig. I just saw... I lovee it..... The Best Things in Life, Aren't Things!!"

Here's to everyone eating healthy today!!

Apparently it is an old Virginia tradition dating back to Jefferson's time to hike Old Rag on your birthday. You should do it sometime. A mile of it is a ridiculous huge boulder field you go over, around, and through. Incredible scenery.

going to tie in tomorrow - first lead of the 3-day will be a pretty easy 5.8- (4 pitch route) on Looking Glass Rock. We'll probably climb something in the 5.10 range on Sunday and then plan to do the biggest route in NC on Monday, Fathom on Laurel Knob which is 10 pitches - its mostly 5.7 and 5.8 climbing with one pitch of pretty well protected 5.10.
Yes, I enjoy being in the woods a lot whether I'm hiking, trail running, climbing, car-camping, creek swimming or just poking around.

What, no sky diving. How you doin' Papa. Sounds like fun. You ain't missed much not having that computer.

sky diving is certainly a consideration but throwing by rack, rope and climbing pack along with a crate or two of car camping stuff in the back of the Subaru is pretty easy - drink some coffee, roll into the parking space, hump it to the climb, rap-off the top, head for the car camp site cook some mac and cheese, drink a beer, repeat - pretty easy and makes for a fun healthy weekend - - no airplanes required

That is an excellent idea.. Oct. 6 is my birthday. I'm going to plan on it! I love to hike Devil's Marble Yard. Have you done that? I love boulder fields!!

Glad the snow is gone HB. It's warming up here as well. :>)

Devil"s Marbleyard is fun too but no comparison. Think house sized round boulders that appear to have been dropped from the sky on top of a mountain. It is truly amazing. You got to do it.
