warm season, the real vacation time is over, and anyways.. I don't really
like very warm temperatures.. so I loved all my hikes in the Appalachian Alpine Tundra.

TREE ADVENTURE

 |
With Gabriel
collegues from his workplace.
It's
not the first time a do this sort of activity but it was fun. We took
about 3 hours to complete the circuit. There was a funny anecdote
about the picture to the left. The guide from the Tree Adventure
Company told me after 2 steps on the high-wire that if i just put the
pole down and lean on it it will be easier! LOL well still balancing I
laughed at him saying that at last there was a little challenge in the
circuit, I wasn't going to do it the easy way and miss out on all the
fun!
