    Talking Video: A great day in the big ditch

    VIDEO: A GREAT DAY IN THE BIG DITCH

    BE WARNED ... WITHIN LIE IMAGES OF LOLLY GAGGING and HAMMOCKS!!!

    In the wee hours of Sunday 29-July-12 Mtncampr and I drove from Greensboro, NC to the Linville Gorge Wilderness area to meet up with Ken for a morning of trail work on the north end of Rock Jock. We clipped from Old Conley to Hacker's Point with a stop by the Lost Dog Cliffs and Fern Point. Around 1:30 we headed to the USFS's Info Cabin on the north end of Kistler to meet up with the fourth member of the First Four ... Waterbar Jim and Cynthia Hobson who were staffing the cabin this weekend. We had a great time lolly gagging with them till time to have dinner at Louise's Rock House Restaurant!

    It was another great day in the Gorge with some of the finest fellers I've had the pleasure of sharing a trail with!

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
