I've added two more mountains around Montreat, N.C.
http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/617825/Lookout-Mountain.html
and
http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/617936/rattlesnake-mountain.html
That concludes my foray into the east for a while. It would be great if somebody could get up and do Greybeard Mtn (5408') this summer--then there'd be pretty good coverage in that area. BobSmith, you SAID you were going back for Greybeard ...

Decided to fix up and update the Pawtuckaway Pages in New Hampshire. Expect more editing of New Hampshire pages in the weeks to come.

Well, I half expected to run into Bob Smith on the summit of this peak! :P

What a great little peak, very accessible, with fine views, right out of Woody Gap!

Also added Hawk Mountain, a great AT side-trip peak.

I went to high school not far from there. My very first long-distance backpacking trip started in Dicks Creek Gap when I was 16! Many, many years ago. I still love that area. The north Georgia mountains are underrated for ruggedness and beauty.

I was delightfully surprised when I saw them my first time. I can't wait to get back there.

I posted a custom object about some crazy people I once saw in Linville Gorge:

Turned Blue Hills into a Area/Range page and then add four of the summits of the Blue Hills to this page. I wanted to update this page as well a couple of other pages so that fit the present SP format. This also gives others a chance to add more information about this region.

That's a pretty awesome picture Bob. I love cliff jumping but with my aim I would definitely need a bigger entry point then a 10 foot circle. Especially if jumping from 70+ feet.

This should be a child of the AT mountains (http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.php?object_id=174869).
