    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    Is that Fat Tire? Oh yea. That's how to camp right there!

    I love that whole area around Black Balsam and Sam Knob. I've been there often (proof attached). In fact, my very first hang was there. It was awful, but it hooked me nonetheless. Campfires are allowed on one side of the trail. Hope to meet some of you guys at the November Upstate SC hang, if I can make it.

    "The Road goes ever on and on,
    Down from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow, if I can.
    Pursuing it with eager feet
    Until it joins some larger way
    Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say."
