looking to disconnect...

Was just looking at info on this last night....

Assateague National Seashore -- you can go backcountry camping there:

Ship getting to you my dude?

 

personally with the flat spell upon us i'd be inclined to head for the mountains to camp - go try a bit of the appalachain trail - good camping & hiking without the sand in your sleeping bag

 

exactly what i just did in the catskills. scored the fall foliage perfect and did some great hikes around hunter moutain. great way to get your mind off the flatness and experience some of the other great sides of nature while getting some really good exercise. great time to go camp

 

nice thread,...

 

Good thread!!! Leethestud, I know what you mean .... we need to disconnect .....

I am going crazy down here in "purple nation" and "halloween central"Alll this traffic, college kids, ect....I want to get away every weekend! no cell phone, no facebook, no internet.... peace and serenity!

I may just go down NC 12 south and camp/whatever by myself this friday!

 

hit the mountains for the solitude... there are a few places you must hike into to camp. Do some research. Smokey mountains are beautiful....

 

yeah, i heard the same.

let us know where you're thinking. i know a bit about the appalachian trail and some parks/mountains in the northeast

 

orange...

LeeStud, just remember it's hunting season.

The boyz are out in force, searching for Bambi with heavy weaponry in hands & Old Grandad in the gut.

For example....are you considering mountain biking on trails...?

Then you may want to don something chic but casual in a nicely fitted blaze orange...

 

funny. just got back from four days in sw va (grayson highlands - where va/nc/tn meet). looks like i didn't miss much around here. the drive is a beyotch (7.5 hours from vb) but the leaves are peaking (as was i). mt. rogers is the highest mountain in va and right there but we didn't climb it (no views from the top - it's all treed out). chose to do some rockhopping/bouldering/waterfall climbing up wilson creek. no trails, no people anywhere to be seen or heard. it's amazing. no matter where you go you will find waves of one kind or another. especially if you're enjoying the fruits of the harvest. i say go to the mountains now for fall fun. the leaves will be gone from the high country very soon.

 

ive been to mt mitchell did the whole climb all the way to the peak. at first it was just straight up then it got okay with elevation and close to the top it got gnarly. then me and my dad hiked 4 miles off the top on that other trail. did this with about 25lb packs with 2 days worth of food and clothes, sleeping bag, pad, and tent. the way up took me and my dad who are in both top shape like 5-6 hours way down took about 2 hours.

 

It is,..a nice thread.

 

yeah the Appalachain trail is a awsome Hike. I did the whole thing from Maine to Gerogia when I was in the Boy Scouts with I was 14 took 3 months almost . It was probally one of the most challenging things I have ever done.

I wanna camp out at Assateague in the spring or next fall would be cool to surf and camp

 

nice!!!!!!!

 

Ooo-rah....!
