Teq on the Butte, same day. Being up there gives you a feeling of just insignificant we really are in the grand scheme of things. It's pretty far up there, and the view is unbeatable.

Damn....that is what I need right now a good break hiking around in the mountains. I miss going to the mountains so badly; I live in the wilderness already but it isn't the same as that ffff good god this is making me a bit :< kind of a longing feeling going on here.
Lovely dog Teq is btw.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I went out with a friend the other day to the North Carolina state line, and I got a chance to relax and see just how beautiful the world can be when you're not surrounded by the industrialization that we've come to accept as the norm. Seeing such wide open fields, and so few people put me at such great ease, I wasn't too eager to come back to the city, regardless of how rural my part of it may be in comparison to the others in the area.
That's one thing I regret about my last trip to Alaska: I didn't make any time to go and climb the Butte. But then again, the weather was absolutely horrid the entire time I was up there, so... blah. Next year, perhaps.
And thanks for the compliments on Teq. He is a gorgeous pooch, and a ton of fun to play with. Dog wrastlin' for teh win.

I live in NC butyouprobablyalreadyknewthat it's nice here; but even though I live in a rural area there are too many people in my opinion; and there are really not that many. I want to take a trip to the mountains soon but I don't know who I would get to take me.
I have always wanted to visit Alaska as well; you were very lucky (in my opinion) to have been born there.
I'm not comfortable in the city, I tend to go on night walks and that isn't..exactly the safest thing around those parts obviously.
Yesss I miss running around with my dog Bobbie. He was stolen from us on New Years I believe two years ago...Laddie is a bit more wild so he has to be watched which sucks.

Laddie... cute name. I'm sorry to hear about Bobbie, that's sad.
And yeh, I know you're in NC; actually went so far as to put your address in my iPhone contacts. Not stalkerish, mind you, just this ridiculously overpowering urge to create and file documents, both electronic and otherwise. I'm an admin nerd, and I prolly always will be.
But anyway, yeah, I need to get my ace out to some mountain sites as well. It's one of the things that I miss the most about Alaska, especially after seeing just how much more industrialized (there's that word again) the place has become in the five years I've been in the Navy.
Also agree with you on the people count. It's one of the things that always bothers me wherever I go. I could go to the middle of nowhere, and eventually, someone else will come to the same area where I thought I was otherwise safe (my friend and I had pulled over to the side of the road where there was nobody else, and we were just enjoying the view, when a dude and his female came and stopped at the same area for no particular reason). Misanthropy runs deep, I guess.
I also go for night... excursions. I try to run each night that I can, usually around or after 11:00 PM, because of the lack of people and the lack of hot. So far, nothing bad has come of it, but if something ever should, my life insurance is good to go, so I shall continue to run with peace of mind.
