Mom's ok, safe and sound at home. I'm back at work. The camera deletion issue has been resolved, and all the gear is clean and ready to go. So, the question then arises here at the tail end of summer, where we hiking? I have taken a few photos offhand since the Pilot Mountain kerfluffle, but I haven't had personal time to go out until, well, now.

My best bets are this upcoming Friday and Saturday, but I'm not used to this time of year... I'm gonna either need rain gear at the ready, or be able to bail to shelter on a moment's notice. There's one place I know of perfect for that, Hanging Rock Lake Park. I also wanna know more about a place around the upper west side of Winston called "The West End". It's hilly, with lots of tiny shops and eclectic buildings.

Either-or will do, not too picky, but I am more partial to the woods.

That'll be a good intro back into things, and since I made this post, I've retroactively kicked my own ass into gear by having to hold myself to my own word now instead of "maaaaaybe I'll go, maaaaaybe I won't, maaaaaaybe I'll go back to sleep" lol.

This is how my motivation works.

Now I have to go, because I said I would.

Ain't no taker-backer.
