I'm going to have to look it up, because I'm curious now. It looks more like fiber optics than ice. Gorgeous, though.

I'm hoping it's not snowing on Christmas day, I have to cross the Appalachians and go home.

And the snow here now is already melting. It kept snowing until 9:30 or so, and now it's 11 and everything's dripping off the roof.

EDIT: that was easy!

Where you do live at again Aaarg?

Aaarg · #**128**

In the little excerpt in the corner, the western tip. Somewhere between the dots for Franklin, Waynesville, and Bryson City.

There is a place there called Sparta.

Hey Aaarg, we should take a little bit of some mushrooms and lay a top of the hills in your area.

I need glasses bad. I saw Sparta and thought it said Sports.

Help yourself to the mushrooms, I'll stick to pot!

I went to see the redwoods awhile back. Seeing them in person is something else.

Aaarg · #**134**

California or what? Pretty sweet. Someday I'll go west.

Zhukov · #**135**

That's a huge god damn tree. I'd love to see redwoods one day, it's one of my many, many life goals.

We used to have the biggest tree in the Southern Hemisphere in Tasmania, but the government accidentally killed it with fire.

Northern California. Lena (my GF) and I drove the Pacific highway one day and looked at beaches and redwoods (we almost got stuck in that redwood park because we rented a car and the fuel gauge was backward from the ones we are used to so we were dangerously close to empty :P )

Aaarg · #**137**

Haha, wonderful!

I look forward to seeing the Pacific coast.

I wanted to take some good pictures but as soon as I got out of the car it started slowly raining and quickly picked up, I turned around ~1/4 mile up the trail and was super pissed (but also super wet and the rising winds made me pretty cold). Did not anticipate rain, was not dressed accordingly, only got some pictures of ice:

Zhukov · #**138**

My internet is spastic at the moment and I can only see one picture. Of ice.

Looks good. For ice.

How cold is it up there about now? We are out of the heatwave period of summer, but it's been crazy with scorching heat and then drenching rain here.

Aaarg · #**139**

There's two pictures of ice and one of a boring trail surrounded by rhododendron and a bit of ice in the middle, haha.

Yikes, we don't get extreme weather like that.

It gets up to the mid-50's (fahrenheit) in the day and down to maybe the 20's at night. Three weeks or so ago we had a few days in which the highest temperature was 17 degrees F.

Sam · #**143**

FUCK THE YOUNG PRINCE

Zhukov · #**144**

I like rhododendron. Still not loading for me though. Oh well.

The FIRE picture is, however. That is AWESOME.

executioneer · #**145**

i've seen fires like that

i never wanted to look away

Aaarg · #**146**

I can't watch a fire unless it's a good one (fireplace, campfire, etc.) and then I love it.

Our neighbor's house was burning a few nights ago, I looked for a second and felt terrible and couldn't look anymore. I don't imagine seeing a forest fire would make me any less uncomfortable.
