We only had a small window of opportunity to get out on friday night for a short winter backpacking trip. With a slightly stressful work week behind me and rain on the radar for Saturday evening,Hambone,Tyler and I strapped on headllamps,packs and trekking poles and headed up Averys Creek. Pisgah Ntnl Forest is one of my favorite places in the world,great camping, mountain biking and flyfishing all just a 15 minuite drive from home. All in all it was a great trip,we had a nice camp spot, great fire and good food.
We took Hambone's son Tyler on his first winter trip, he did great and had a good time. We also took Lucy,my 1yr old bull terrier.....that is a whole other story.I'm sure she has some sort of mental fault somewhere.She was insane from the time we loaded her to the time we unloaded her.Hambone said it best "It's like camping with the Tasmaian Devil".
I'm super blessed to have grown up and live where I do.The mountains,trails rivers and lakes of this area help me decompress from all the things of work,my kids screaming at the TV while playing Xbox and the everyday pitfalls of life.I am truely thankful to have these "old mounatins" as my back yard and good friends to explore them with.

One day sir...I will be requesting a personal tour of your back yard. When, I don't know...but I can't stay away from Pisgah forever.
