Re-watching this video series. Now that I have proper equipment I want to go here. It looks like a combination of all worlds I know: Missouri and Florida (lots of terrain and wetness).

@Mikums2 We are drawn back to the Gorge again and again.....hope you go sometimes.

@willbillyization That is a good loop you did there.

I did a similar trip with the exception of Hawksbill. Started above Bable tower and went to Spence Ridge to shortoff and then crossed the river and went back up to Conley Cove and then took the road back to the truck in the last week of Jan/ 2011 in an ENO. It was mighty cold but fun hiking in the ice. I enjoy the vids man. I'm in Montana now and missing my NC back yard.
