I bushwacked so hard this weekend, I actually got vertigo. Rhodo's are my mortal enemy. I did however, find that I am not alone in this sentiment:

Thinking about a race, where you have to bushwack through miles of Rhodos...

that's awsome. Maybe we can start a club for all those who like to bushwack and climb choss. We can call it the Last Organization of Stubborn Traddies, or LOST for short

You're never lost if you don't care where you are...

One of the climbing magazines published an article years ago about a bushwhack rating scale that is in use in the Pacific Northwest. Oh what fun it is! Nothing like a good bushwhack to start the day.

Somebody asked Daniel Boone if he was ever lost and he replied something like, "I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks."

Ha! He was probably in the Red River Gorge! :lol:

What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Old traddie's don't die they just fade off in to the rhodes.
