Smokethese

What up Family,

Just spent 5 incredulous days trekking in the Smokies with the family's long lost manchild, Carter Tate. Due to inclement weather, starting as rain and progressing to sleet and snow; we had some of the most intense solitude I've experienced backpacking. I highly recommend the Bigcreek area for dayhiking/ backpacking. Fucking rainforst this tyme of year.

I guess I spent the days leading up to the trip drinking and carousing in the vaginal warmth of Asheville's spring. The wintry weekend forecast hardly forced a synaptic interplay. I left town with a 50 degree bag and hopes of a spring backpacking adventure. The first night we made camp a cold front gangbanged our tent like a Japanese invasion. The temp dropped 40 degrees and the following morning we climbed Sterling mountain in fits of wind and sleet. Sleet turned to a wet semenal snow, which we trudged through for the next four days. It was a type of physical challenge brought on by my intrepid arrogance at high altitude Appalachia's extremes. A punishment deserved and perversely enjoyed.

Fuck yea.
