     I like to think of myself as a dreamer. An ideas man. Sometimes these grand visions fail to come to fruition and remain just thoughts. Other times, they are attempted but for one reason or another, they fall apart. Such was the case when a buddy of mine in NC decided to hike from Mt. Mitchell to Mt. Pisgah.

I  will admit I was a little hesitant about "it".  I've thought about "it" a few times.  Most of the time it was the heat of the moment on a trail or on a hike when I wished I would have done "it" already.
