    Newb in Brevard, NC

    Hello, I'm Rick, and I'm new to Hanging. I moved to Brevard from Cincinnati less than a year ago, mainly for the mountain biking, but also for the backpacking. I bought a Hennessy Expedition a couple years ago, but have only had one opportunity to use it. I loved how light, simple, and comfortable it was, but still need to figure out how to keep my butt warm. Looks like a lot of useful info on here.

    A big old NC welcome.

    Small world ... I spent a couple summers teaching rock climbing in a camp that was located in Cedar Mtn on what is now the Dupont State Park. Back in the day it was a private camp.

    Thanks for the welcome! I see unicyclists in Pisgah every once in a while. Crazy.

    Hawk-eye, I ride in Dupont a LOT. Great place.

    Got a lot of great memories from that place ... might be time to go visit!
