I know that this site was just started for hiking/camping on Mt Mitchell in the winter… but seriously where is everyone?!
Basically the short and quick of this is, to ask a simple question. What is in everyones plans now that the Spring is nearly upon us.
Mitchell was the starting point on a few different tasks that my wife and I have decided to track down. Both of the tasks are through the Carolina Mountain Club. The first one is viewing the Waterfalls and Cascades 100 ( A list of 100 waterfalls/cascades in the Carolinas that are fairly well spread out). The second of which is the South Beyond 6000 (a grouping of 40 peaks in the Carolinas and Tennessee above 6000 feet of elevation). This task is going to be somewhat brutal at times but definately worth the effort. Between these two tasks I will be hiking well over 500 miles. However theses two tasks are my 3-5 year goals, my goal exclusively this year is to reach 365 miles on the entire year in hiking alone… Thats right I want to average out to at least 1 mile in the woods per day for this year. I dont think its too high of a goal, but it will require some dedication in not falling behind too far at any given moment.
Now that I have shared, please share your plans for the outdoors this year!

Thanks for sharing Andrew! My plans are to get as much hiking/camping as my wife will allow. My goal is to get her more exposed to the lifestyle, thereby increasing her desire to come with me. Other than that, I will be training to finish my first half ironman in November.
