One time I was hiking using trekking poles and a lady approached me and asked what skiing event I was preparing for.Originally Posted by Hangin' Burrito
My friends usually ask me, "How much beer do you have in there?"

I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.
The Mrs has respectfully declined. The kids will just be getting back back from the Dominican mission trip. She doesn't want to be gone that weekend.
I'm still attending...I really, really, really like Jeremy's chili.
Well...all I know is I've never had to go without!One time I was hiking using trekking poles and a lady approached me and asked what skiing event I was preparing for.

Glad that you and your son are coming. The more, the merrier.
I'm sorry that we will not be able to meet your wife. The chili will be there. I took my "Triple Threat" version to a chili competition at Quest Brewery and took People's Choice.

Congratulations on the chili competition Mr. FIMB. Triple Threat sounds like my kind of chili.
Congrats on the peoples choice. I bet that triple threat version is great.

Thank you, both.
It has three beans (navy, red kidney, and black), three chilis (jalapeno, poblano, and chipotle), three meat (bacon, ground sirloin, marinated grilled chicken), and some additional veggies thrown in.
Not the best for hotdogs, but good for a cool winter day.

Cedar Rock Day Hike
Recon Completed
Are we packed yet?? It's less than 90-days until the John Rock Hang.
Running Feather and I found a 'safer' way to summit Cedar Rock from the Enchanted Forest while you're attending the John Rock Hang.
As usual we decided to turn a dayhike into an overnight backpacking trip...
From the Enchanted Forest -
It's about a 5 mile round trip (give or take a mile, mile n a half) with no ropes needed and good trails all the way. Some steep spots but nothing technical and nothing 'stoopid steep'. Yep. Summit of Cedar Rock is over 4000 ' elevation. Enchanted Forest is about 2600 ' elevation
If you can hike to the top of John Rock then you can probably enjoy this hike too. The Cedar Rock Hike is a bit longer and the elevation gain from camp to the summit is just shy of 1,400 '. Took us only about 1.5 hours to the summit (yes, I'm a slow hiker). The views from the summit of Cedar Rock are spectacular too!
And take all the water with you that you'll need (And your Essential Ten). Just be careful up there... rolling down the side of a pluton is not recommended (Ask John.... Oh wait! John was a mule).
Now you have even more choices when you attend The John Rock Hang! Hike to John Rock, Hike a bit more to Cedar Rock, or, if you're professionally trained, then hike to the base of Looking Glass Rock and do a little climbing. Plus any of another about 135 more nearby trails to choose from...
Here's the Cedar Rock Recon for those considering the hike:

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
Thank you Daryl, Daryl, Daryl, ------------and Daryl! You guys are killing me! All I have down in SE GA is rain, swamp, and skeeeeeters. Got to get to high ground soon or go "nuts".
Oh yeah. Thanks for another good vid.
Maybe, just maybe, I might get to the hang. Its either that or I will be heading to Katahdin to start a south bound long section down to Harpers Ferry. Family is still driving my bus --- I'm just along for the ride.
