    Radford, VA here, and there's a handful of us that go out on occasion, mostly hangers.
    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen

    I'm down the I-81 just a bit, in Kingsport, TN.

    If you're feeling sassy, there is a winter hang coming up the third weekend in January at Grayson Highlands.

    I have been told that one has to be mentally deficient to attend, as the weather can be beyond insane. Soooo, I'm in !

    Bristol, VA checking in (by way of Castlewood originally). I lost my backpacking buddy 5 years ago (he moved to OH) and I've been missing the woods. I'm just now getting the wife involved. We'll be hitting some familiar trails soon, and who knows maybe next year we'll do the Mount Rogers hang.

    Hey! I'm in Bedford, VA. Near Lynchburg. My brother lives down in Abingdon and I often hit GHSP and Mt. Rogers.
