Philly




I am writing this from Bolder, CO; which is a sweet place. I spent some time in Philly and had a good time. That city was sweet! There were bicyclist all over the place and atmosphere was great. I skipped walking at graduation to watch the USA play England in a pub in Philly. I have no regrets and I heard it was super boring.
I had Pat's King of Steak's Philly Cheese steak. I didn't think it was that good as they hype; maybe a second try is needed.
The art museum was great as well. The paintings of different painters were phenomenal to see.
Well this post is brief and there is more to come. I have only slept 4 hours and right now I need that sleep for tomorrow.

Regards,
Joe

Georgia!

I just got back from Georgia yesterday. Some friends and I went to Rocktown, which is a climbing area. It was a sweet place now that I am thinking about it. There was a lot of climbing to be done there and even some stuff that is not listed on the Dr. Topo guide.
It was a good trip, mostly because the people were fun. Also the camping was primitive car camping and I always love sleeping in a tent and not having much of anything around me besides nature. I didn't get much climbing in because of the late nights, but the climbing I did get in was good.
I was able to connect with nature a little because of this setting, but I think three days wasn't enough to experience nature as a whole. My friend Jesse mention that the concept of not having trees is strange to him. He thinks that hiking or camping without trees is abnormal, which is mostly due to the fact that he grew up in a setting were trees were abundant. My attitudes to a treeless camp or hike is indifferent. I grew up in a semi-treed suburban area and played sports mostly in a complex that is largely open. However, my own experiences hiking and camping are with trees.....

I am looking over this post and realized it is a dumb post. It is me writing b/s. To be short, go climb and look after those trees!
