It was zoomed in, but we were quite close. I could not have reached out and touched him, but I could have taken one step and done so.

planning a toadtrip next week from knoxville to nyc and considering hiking the highest mountains in each state on the way there and back -- kind of a cool idea imo

The South Beyond 6000 is an organized program to encourage hikers to climb the 40 peaks over 6000 feet in the Southern Appalachians. The privilege of belonging is earned and can only be shared among those who have pushed onward and upward on foot to the tops of these peaks. The Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club started this program after they had studied similar concepts used in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Adirondack Mountains in New York.
you should get in on this imo
― tehresa, Sunday, 15 November 2009 04:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i will have done 12 of those by the end of this year iirc!!
― e\m/ily (roxymuzak), Sunday, 15 November 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
2. Climb all 40 peaks by routes involving hiking at least 5 miles with an ascent of at least 500 feet. In many cases, roads come close to the summits, and the return trip may be made by auto. However, where descent by trail is specified, return trip must be made on foot.

i might hike in shendandoah too/instead
― e\m/ily (roxymuzak), Sunday, 15 November 2009 04:55 (fourteen years ago) link
it feels misleading tho - thinkin like 40 hikes to 6000+ ft when the min requirement is 500 ft ascent?! i know you can't start at sea level all the time, but...
― tehresa, Sunday, 15 November 2009 04:57 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah its incred rare iirc
― e\m/ily (roxymuzak), Sunday, 15 November 2009 04:58 (fourteen years ago) link
well yeah, my point was that the requirement should be more stringent than 500 ft of climb.

i know i might be spoiled by the smokies, but fuck shenandoah natl park form what i can tell, kinda? what kind of nat'l park has as it's main attraction a DRIVE
― e\m/ily (roxymuzak), Sunday, 15 November 2009 05:01 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost i think it should just be the 40 peaks period, its weird to have any other requirement imo. if it is going to be the highest/most difficult elevation gains that's a whole other ball of wax
― e\m/ily (roxymuzak), Sunday, 15 November 2009 05:02 (fourteen years ago) link
i just think that the actual hiking to the summit should count for something.
i mean, the hill i live on goes from almost sea level to 390 ft in like, a mile... i would not consider that a hike if i added an extra 110 ft and 4 miles?
― tehresa, Sunday, 15 November 2009 05:19 (fourteen years ago) link
4 miles???
― e\m/ily (roxymuzak), Sunday, 15 November 2009 05:21 (fourteen years ago) link
min requirement is 5 miles and 500 ft... which is... nothing?

Douchechill. I might just do VA's highest because it has miniature ponies on it and is beautimous, and then some Shenandoah stuff.

did a nice hike with justine yesterday to the top of pine mtn in marin county. really nice views of mt. tam, the bay, richmond bridge, and even mt. diablo (where we were last weekend). i have a cell phone pic of justine climbing on top of the summit marker, but i can't upload it to the computer, because i'm dumb and she wouldn't let me post it anyway.

i had to google to see what a winter ascent of whitney would be like- pretty entertaining it turns out
snowshoeing is pretty fun, but ive not done anything very challenging in them. ive done lots of backcountry ski touring and highly recommend.

the weird thing was: we kind of picked this place to hike at random, then driving to it we were wondering if it was gonna suck - scenery looked real flat and boring. 15mins later we were driving up a damn mountain.
― DAN P3RRY MAD AT GRANDMA (just1n3), Monday, 7 December 2009 01:58 (fourteen years ago) link
photos don't do the place justice, not by a longshot
I would really like to try snowshoeing! Unfortunately, DC is not known for reliable snowfall, though we did have a couple of inches yesterday (now mostly gone). How much snow is the minimum for good snowshoeing?
Oooh just1n3 that looks like a lovely hike!

the 2nd two photos were taken on a trail called "prairie falcon trail"... eg, the most badass trail name of all time.

wow that shot is amazing!
i'm not sure about snowshoeing min fall. i was going to go to a class at rei a while back but something conflicted and now i am kicking myself.

hopefully not while wearing snowshoes...

went on an xmas ramble with my bf. it was nice, like a ~4 mile gentle rolling hills thing. hilariously, it led up to this vista that i swear looked out over on a nuclear power plant-esque thing. "ITS BEAUTIFUL," we screamed. this was at ijams nature center in south knoxville.
did yall hear about that hiker that held on by his fingertips to an icy ledge for 6 hours?!
