Made my plans before the wife changes her mind. Flying north 7/16, catching the bus to Joe Dodge heading north for about two weeks. Starting with 2 or 3 days of food.That's about the extent of the planning.

PostAstro, if what's happening in Boston is any indication that mist is going to turn into a downpour soon. A good day to find shelter early and watch the deluge from a dry place.

Interesting father's day weekend. That's Deanna my wife of 35 years. and Ashley of 8 years. My grandfathers day was a few miles from the AT at Jonestown KOA. The trip was Hershey Chocolate. We had a wonderful weekend, and after changing meds and stuff, I can't keep up with an 8 year old. Fishing time is good, bicycling is awesome.. Hiking is too painful, everything below the knees.
There isn't a med that can fix this.

I know I told ya'll the story about Irene singing the Big Boob song to us in Manchester, but I don't think I ever posted the pictures or video. Well thanks to shutterfly popping up this morning, here's the pictures of her and us shortly before the cougar attempted to nab us.Still looking for the video.

Winter Linville Gorge
On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the… -
Great Smoky Mountain National Park
On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
