The first several days of spring break have been very enjoyable and productive recon for the upcoming SB6K bid. Lily, Uwharrie and I camped along the Blue Ridge Parkway Friday and Saturday nights and explored the routes up the following peaks:
1.) Mt. Hardy
2.) Chestnut Bald
3.) Richland Balsam
4.) Reinhart Knob
5.) Yellow Face
6.) Waterrock Knob
7.) Mount Lyn Lowery
8.) Plott Balsam
Upon learning of the unfortunate outcome of Scott’s BMT attempt, we decided to roll on through Highlands and into SC to visit Ashley and Elliot in Jones Gap on Sunday.
Elliot took us on a wonderful paddle across Lake Jocassee on Monday. The full glory of spring has arrived in the lower elevations. On the highest summits, the snow lingers.
Lily is off to FL to be with her mom, Uwharrie is hanging with friends in the Mountain Bridge. Starting tomorrow, I’m off to the Smokies for a 70+ mile fastpack exploring ten more peaks. The break away continues…
