As part of a 16 or 17 state highpoint blitz of the Northeast this August while working remotely 8 hrs a day from various Starbucks.

After working from Cinncinnatti, OH yesterday for 8 hrs, I drove across Kentucky via Red River Gorge (my favourite climbing area) to Virginia via Hazard from the Dukes of Hazard. Slept in the car and bagged Mt Rogers this morning in the fog. It took its toll perhaps due to my lack of sleep the last month or so...and my hiking shoes are way too grippy causing me to faceplant after tripping on a rock running down the trail. 2 minor knee scuffs and some laughs later, I bagged the 4 mile approach in 1h 30m and was surprised it was in the trees. Fog lifted a bit on the way out making for easier following of the white Applachian Trail markers. Back at work an hour down the road at Starbucks. On to Spruce Knob tonight and further north and east.
