I hear ya, on the burger from the Portal Store. I'm thinking next go will be day hike. Never would have thought so, but in hindsight, I think it fits my profile better. I really dig the lighter pack and, in the final analysis, it's only 6.3 more miles in a day than what we did. Take away the need for a two hour camp breakdown, the extra weight, and a lot of other logistical headaches and suddenly it doesn't seem so crazy after all.
And for my new friend from Virginia, let's check back on the "lowly Tar Heels" come November 9th. Football season is upon us and we plan on a fun day in Chapel Hill when the Hoos come to town this year!
