Moving on up...errr...west

The past week and a half has been a whirlwind, and I've nearly been out on the road for two weeks now. Most of my time has been spent at Rocktown outside of LaFayette, Georgia, but the weather has caused me and my car to move locations.

Yesterday, with Wayne, I headed out from Rocktown hoping to escape the snow storm that was sweeping across the south. Great plan in theory, but it just landed us on top of another mountain north of Chattanooga bouldering at a crag known as Little Rock City. It was a good day, but cold to say the least, and snow was plentiful. After a few hours at the crag, and some nagging on my behalf, we finally bailed; and just in the nick of time since they closed that solid sheet of ice/road off 20 minutes later, and would have stranded us on the top of the mountain.

We ended up fleeing all the way to Nashville that/last night and hung out with Kevin Bogard and his family for the night. Early this morning we then rolled on out towards the Arkansas area, and I now find myself in a strangers apartment with a full belly and at a state of near exhaustion. It is good to be here though, and we have plans to climb on through Tuesday or Wednesday after which it will be off to the beautiful establishment of Hueco Tanks. I can't say enough about how psyched I am.

Still no pictures or video. I need to do a better job.
