ARock10 An Immense Invitation Epic Quest


Recommended Posts

2 years ago today I signed up for NF Rebellion. I've lurked a lot, participated in several challenges, and opened up more in my daily life and on the boards.  Big step for today is posting my Epic Quest list.  This is my life and tickets are non-refundable.  I'm inviting myself to enjoy it by designing what I want.

Let me know when you get ready to see the Canyon. I know the area well and have lots of tips and local info. And, with enough notice, I might even be able to get away from work for a hike.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:

but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

~T. E. Lawrence

 

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands,

flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

Thanks ShadowLion for your offer of tips and local info.  It would be great to hike with you.


 


Started section hiking the AT. First hike 8/30/14 Springer Mountain to forest service road past Hawks Mountain (9 miles)


Second hike tomorrow 9/13/14 Hightower to Gooch Gap


My group will complete the Georgia portion of the AT in several day hikes.  After that, we'll see.

Traded in my 2004 Subaru Forester for a 2015 limited one on 5/12/2015, it is charcoal gray with gray leather interior.  It is exactly what I wanted.

 

I am going to Bonnaroo in 3 weeks.  Bonnaroo is the crazy multi day music festival held in Manchester, TN and this will be my first time attending.

 

I have been very lazy about working out.
