...it didn't take you long to get out hiking now that you are back home!
Classic southern Appalachian summit - work so hard for nothing but a view of the trees! Still sounds like it was a great day. Some great pics in here. Good to see a new post from you.
I was long, long overdue...it feels great to be back in the high peaks! I'm scouring my maps for some new mountains to add and have a couple in mind. Can't wait! Thanks for the nice comments!
I love to hear stories of non-winter southern Appalachian bushwacks...when the undergrowth is super thick. Glad you didn't get stuck in rhododendron hell. Nice write-up.
Did Reinhart Knob today. Brutal bushwhack! Whacked thru yards and yards of 8' high blackberry and other thorny brambles near the summit. Quite an experience, especially in July. If I ever repeat it, it will be immediately after the Parkway reopens.

Re: Very niceThanks, it was quite an experience and one that it looks like I'll have to get used to if I'm going to complete the SB6K list!
