summersville lake and new river gorge in west virginia this past long weekend for climbing and camping. such gorgeousness. if it hadn't been 28 degrees the first night, it would've been perfect. ha.
things i've discovered:- the one problem with climbing + photography is that you can never take pictures of yourself while climbing. oh well. that's not me, that's someone else (mucho times better) on a freakin' hard route. but a damn neato picture. :)
- west virginia is awesome for outdoors stuff: whitewater rafting (during the summertime), climbing (uber-great crags), hiking, camping, deep water soloing...
- but besides outdoors stuff, west virginia has no urban (or even suburban) civilization. hmm, i'd still go for maine, colorado, or california.
- i like stars.
- campgrounds with bathroom facilities are amazing! who knew?
- fire is cool.
- my knees and arms and hands and legs are bruised and scratched. i've been abused.
- when i grow up, i wouldn't mind having a lake house.. and a beach house.. and a mountain house. mmm, i better start making some serious money.
- the climbers are an interesting bunch of people. really intriguing.
