Has anyone here ever, heard the words, Smoky Mountains. If so, then they are either referring to my National Park, or Global Warming.

There is no vanity on the AT (The Appalachian Trail) and more than some walk in the woods. Seems like it would be just an adventure. It started as a journey and a leap of faith to hike the entire Georgia section of the AT in less than 6 days. Day 4 it became a transformation. I saw less than 10 people hiking for 6 days and 90 miles. I hiked till 7pm each day (one hour prior to sunset) and wherever the spirit led me, I set up my tent, ate my food, journaled, slept and got up at 6 am in order to be back on the trail as soon as I could see it. Relentless steep climbs on all types of terrain and many painful descents that caused much knee pain. Several nights totally alone in the wilderness. Lots of praying and talking to God out loud.
The first time was in the summer of 1973, traveling there with my wife and then-infant son. It was overcast that day. But we didn't need sunshine to take in the splendor of what towered over us in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

The world-famous mountain of Squaw Valley has been a home to me, a place to explore some of the great features that the Lake Tahoe region has to offer. Recently, a proposal has been passed to unnecessarily expand and innovate what was once a beautiful piece of land, to a “concrete jungle”. It was clear to me that what's proposed would, wall off the west end of the valley, occluding nearly every angle of the one of a kind mountain views the world has enjoyed for so many years. It's simply inappropriate and far too big. Nothing about it fits.
