luv me sum appalachia ;) ...(stave pics added)
« on: July 07, 2013, 09:59:41 pm »
Had me a 4 day weekend and decided to take a couple of those days n head to some appalachia wilderness for some solo time  8)  one day I went for a 16+ mile trek,but took no pics...but I did on the second day n here's a few to share  ;) ...

After a 2 1/4 miles up and two thousand feet of elevation gain later I ended up at the top of this beauty...here's looking north,and you can see a few houses in the lower left corner for scale ;)



Here's looking south  8)



To the west :)



To the east ;)



A shot of some dirty hippy up there  8)



After I got down I went straight to a local swimming hole and jumped right in...it even had a small cliff jump into that cool clear mountain water..but i took no pics cus I was too busy swimming ;)

I also scored me a couple mountain laurel staves ;)

Thanks for looking ;) :D

Nice pics.  Looks like my idea of a fun get-away.  I'm a flat-lander stuck in the middle of the prairies, but I love every minute I get to spend in the mountains.  Those hikes are a hell of a workout, but with that kind of scenery you don't even notice.

Looks like a good way to spend a few days.  That is some beautiful scenery.  Now where are the pics of the staves?

Beautiful mountains, Josh. Different from this end of the Appalacian Mountains but still cool as heck. The bare stone ridgelines are cool.
 What are you gonna do with Mt Laurel staves?  ::)
