Man vs. Wild - Friday & Saturday

Jonathan and I did a "Man vs. Wild" near Cashiers, NC. We took only a flint, knife, and a water bottle a piece (we also took a hatchet and a pot to boil water in, fishing line and a hook but never used those things at all for our benefit). We met a guy named Jeff who showed us some great areas around the wilderness to camp (so helpful and such a nice guy!). Beautiful falls (where we tried fishing - quite unsuccessfully) and camped near the top of the mountain above the falls. Near our camp, there was this massive rock and overlook. Amazing sunset! From the car, it was about a 3.5 mile hike. We camped under a rhododendron bush with ferns as our 'bedding.' The night was freezing!! Oh, wow, what a miserable night. We built a fire and it lasted until about 10... then we turned in to sleep. Woke up at 12 absolutely freezing (I didn't have any long pants or sleeves, so I took a towel with me to suffice - not cheating I don't think...). We were both waking up all night long and counting down the hours until morning. At 5:30 am, it was just light enough to head back, so we hiked all the way back to the car. I had some weird heartburn that morning, but it went away after a while. Yeah! Victory upon reaching the car! Great breakfast in town!

Total mileage: 8 miles between the two days
Fuel: nothing at all

Bike (Mountain) - Thursday

Mountain biking at Bull Mountain in Dahlonega, GA with Jonathan.

Time: 1:30:00 ish??
Max: ?? mph
Avg: ?? mph
Distance: 10 ish miles
Route: one long uphill to the "truck" on the Bull Mountain trail, then one amazing downhill.
Memories: Jonathan Hull had never biked before, and he didn't have a bike when we drove up there. A local bike shop lent him a bike (awesome guys! - providence of God) and he absolutely killed the trail. Nice work, man! It rained a little, making the trail a little slick and muddy. It was pretty technical - we both had to walk a good bit of the uphills.
Fuel: None during. 2 shot blocks before.
