As many of you know, the FFN's have been spending a lot of time in the North Georgia mountains hiking this year. One of the goals for the year was to get our fat asses up Blood Mountain.

Blood Mountain is the 5th highest peak in the state (the entire top 6 are within a few fee of each other). It is the highest point on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia. The summit is 4460 feet according to the trusty GPS.

We went up the north side, which is steep and rugged with lots of boulders incorporated into the trail. As a Boy Scout I used to do this hike a couple of times a year. With another 100 pounds to lug up it along with older legs, it is now a bit more challenging. ;)

Here's a 3D topo with our GPS tracks laid on top of it.

GonZo cursed me and made very rude accusations about my family lineage for the last quarter or so of the hike as we approached the summit, but he made it. Here he is standing on the tip top as the USGS benchmark is just beneath his feet:

He looks a little tired, cant imagine why....

hahahaha, damn, you guys weren't kiddin! haha

never understood the point of hiking without the camping part of it.....unless you are a nature freak or somethin

i will say it is nice to see some friends being serious about losing the F in FFN though

did you all know that it is not only the USA that is overweight now? they are saying that 50-60% of all civilized nations have weight problems now....guess it just took a little while for the rest of the world to catch up

And I dont understand why anyone would stand on a treadmill or use a stair stepper that goes nowhere when you can do this and be rewarded with a hellacious view.

Also, thanks to this damned drought, you can camp in the national forest, but you cant build a legal campfire. And camping aint much fun without a fire.

Someone had to take the picture.

If GonZo had've done it, the pic would likely never get downloaded off his card, and if he did it would be posted at full size in the middle of the forum and unrotated.

I wouldn't mind making a hike like that. Here in FL it's much more fun to ride my bike on the trails though!

Ive already done it. You can borrow my flashlight for the required night descent. Make sure not to bring too many goodies though... its mating season for bear. And not the Naked Sword kind.

I will just make sure that you come with us and instead of the bear getting a snack(me), I will push you in front of the bear and they can get a meal:okthumb:

Sound good???

egg whites are great, especially when accompanied by sausage, bacon, cheese grits, and a couple of big ole buttery cat head biscuits.

hahahahaha

thats so not true.

Most everything I eat now tastes great. My new thing is Venison and Ostrich meats. Both are very tasty and verrryyy low in fat but high in lean protein

I make a Killer ostrich chili and you wouldnt even know its not beef yet it has like 3g of fat per bowl. The venison I make several different ways but my fav is sauteed medallions with onions and tomatoes and I make a beef gravy

And it "Taste just like chicken" right?

I would of never in a million years considered scarfing down a big bird like this.
And it's low in fat, high in protein huh? Where the heck would you purchase this type of carnivorous consuming bird in Florida?:scratchin the local butcher???

a local market I go to carries all kinds of game meats. ostrich, venison, elk, buffalo,

and no it tastes nothing like chicken. its actually a very strong flavored meat thats why i make chili out of it. then it tastes like beef with a fraction of the fat content.

you can also buy it online and have it shipped to you though its more expensive that way.
