My son (15) rapelling down some granite near the blue ridge parkway today. Windy and chilly.

We were in a valley and sheltered somewhat, but yeah up on the ridge it was howling.
@CallMeDave it is crazy here. You couldn't have paid me to be on a ridge.
I think you mispelled rappelling. Tapelling refers to a mid-wives dealing with a difficult delivery.
You must be a proud, if not worried, poppa.

This phone is new and auto correct doesn't know me yet. Thanks. He has climbed and rapelled several times now. An old hand.
@CallMeDave Blame the auto correct! Full speed ahead!

Posted by CallMeDaveI've never been a big wildflower person, but this is the season for it here in Appalachia. Other people can identify every variety. I'm not there yet.
