Erin S.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ A surprisingly nice campground on an isolated windy road
As the title suggests, I was really surprised at how nice this campground is. Mostly dry camping with a few hook-up sites that mostly go to camp hosts, the camp sites are designed for tents and small RVs. Only a few sites will accommodate longer rigs (reservations are made through recreation.gov so check the site dimensions before you book). Getting up this way is tricky. I highly recommend coming from the north or the east if you are travelling with an RV. Coming from the west on the BRP is windy with low hanging branches. Coming from the south on 80 is insane with anything bigger than a pick-up truck (and even then it is a bit dicey). The sites are widely spaced. Bathhouses were clean. There is a large meadow in the center of the loop for play (there are poles for a volleyball net but it wasn't rigged when we were there). There are no supplies available at the office and the nearest store is a good distance so make sure you come prepared. For local recreation, the Mount Mitchell trail departs from the campground and the nearby South Toe river is a favorite of fisherman. There is also a golf course and club in the nearby South Toe community. The town of Little Switzerland is a 30-minute drive away, with a nice restaurant and cafe, along with several local shops. Would recommend.

Mt Mitchell Camp sites tour
The video shows you all of the 9 campsites at the Mt. Michell State Park in N.C. It is at elevation 6320 Feet. If you are a novice camper these sites can be quite windy and cold at night (even in the summer) so bring warm clothing. The video reviews each site and offers the pros and cons of each. We have stayed at 3, 5, and 6. These site are walk in from the parking lot Cell service is non-existent. You might get or send an occasional text but don't count on it. There is a pay phone at the ranger's station down the road and there you can pick up wifi at the ranger's station but you need to see them for the password. Do not bring your own firewood. There is also a restaurant down the road. You'll need to reserve with the park service well in advance to get a good campsite.

Black Mountain Crest Trail - The Death March SB6K Ep. 8
I started Day 2 at the Bowlen Creek parking lot and set out to hike the Black Mountain Crest Trail also known as The Death March.
The start of this trail up to Horse Rock Meadow is around 4.5 miles with an elevation gain of just over 3000 feet. There aren't any views along this section of the trail. Once I reached the meadow I was greeted by a friendly brown snake.
From there I found the manway that leads to the summit of Celo Knob. It was pretty straight forward in finding the wooden sign and the geo marker. I snapped a few photos and headed back to the Crest Trail.
There wasn't any views due to it being a socked-in day. So I continued on to my next summit which is Gibbs Mountain. This summit was also an off-trail section. I had to scramble around some low limbs and up a huge rock and back a little further to get to the top. There is no view here just trees.
Back on the Crest Trail, I headed for Winter Star Mountain this is where the trail changed from being a ridgeline hike in the grass to more of a trail of ups and downs. There were sections of the trail throughout the day that required a rope to either get down or get up the trail. Once at Winter Star Mountain I snapped a few photos and ate my first lunch. This summit is right on the trail. For me it was on my right side headed toward Mitchell.
Next up was Cat Tail peak. NOTE that there is a faint trail that leads up to the summit where there is a geo marker. Once back on the Crest Trail I passed a wooden sign that read Summit of Cattail Peak. THIS IS NOT THE REAL SUMMIT!
From there you'll go down into Deep Gap and Big Tom Gap, Both are very hard climbing out. Balsam Cone was my next SB6K peak. Luckily this summit is right on the trail.
Once I got to Big Tom I thought I was going to die. what a climb there were two sections of ropes that helped me climb up the trail. This is the first time all day that I've seen any other human or talked to anyone. I needed the breather break.
Next up the second tallest mountain east of the Mississippi Mt Craig. Once I got there I knew that I had about a mile left. I snapped a few photos and ate a few snacks and drank some water. still no views. From there it was on to Mt Mitchell.
I can't believe I was doing this...joy just filled my soul. omg omg omg...ha
and there it was the parking lot of Mt Mitchell. So why not add one more summit to the day so on up to the top of Mt Mitchell for my seventh summit of the day.
I bought a dr pepper and changed shirts, socks and put on my toboggan and waiting for my shuttle to take me back to my truck.
Just a wow of a day! I will definitely hike this again. Hopefully next time I'll have some views.

Best Drug Rehabilitation | Peck Fest | Black Mountain Shine
If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction call (888) 820 5366
One of the most important parts of overcoming addiction is finding positive alternatives to using drugs or alcohol. Many of the patients that we see at Best Drug Rehabilitation come in afraid that they will never be able to have fun again. As they progress through their recovery program, they begin to discover that the “fun” that they thought they were having was more like a nightmare – a chaotic existence where pain, anger, guilt and resentment are standard, and the only thing that really maters is getting high or having a drink. They start to find other things to occupy their time. They may find a new passion in music or art, or rediscover an old hobby, such as writing or athletics. They begin to rediscover themselves, the person that has been trapped under the surface of drugs and alcohol for so long.
Recently, BDR had the opportunity to talk with many of the performers at a two-day music festival in West Virginia known as Peck Fest 2015, part of the “Taste of Nashville” Tour. Peck Fest was named in honor of Gary Peck, owner of the Kanawha River Campground in Point Pleasant, WV, where the event was held on September 4th-5th. We spoke with them about their viewpoints on substance abuse in the music community and in the world around us, and on some of the ways we can address these issues.
Trampus Stomper and Chris Rakes, two members of Black Mountain Shine, were among those that we were fortunate enough to speak with. “You gotta choose what path you want to take,” said Trampus. “Do you want to be where you want to be in 20 years, or do you want to be in the same place? I think different vices keep you from your goals and the person you want to be.” Chris spoke from a more personal place, sharing some of the things that he has seen in his own life in regards to substance abuse. “Different phases in my life where I’ve tended to consume maybe too much alcohol, for instance,” he said, “is when I’ve been most miserable in my personal life as well. The story ends the same – it’s a bad road to go down.”
Finding the right path and making the decisions necessary to remain on that path can come in many different ways. Every patient at BDR goes through their own journey to recovery from addiction, and each does so in their own manner. For some, it comes in reconnecting with the world spiritually. “One of the biggest things for me is faith,” Trampus explained. “Whether it’s in God or in somebody that you look up to, whatever it is, faith has a big part of what you’re doing. Take that step, believe in people, believe in God, and trust yourself, and I think everything works out. But you’ve gotta take that step.”
The substance abuse treatment program at Best Drug Rehabilitation is all about finding a new beginning in life, by making a total transformation from the hectic lifestyle of drug and alcohol abuse to a more productive and positive way of living. As our patients learn how to overcome their addictions, discovering the tools and skills that they need in order to face life’s obstacles without resorting to using drugs and alcohol, they also find a new outlook and appreciation for the world around them. They discover that there are plenty of alternatives to substance abuse, and that the power to remain free from the bonds of addiction rests in their hands. Though we are committed to helping our patients in every way that we can with every step that they take on the path to recovery, in the end, the choice is always up to them.

Mt Mitchell 2019
We headed out to Mt. Mitchell state park on the first day of 2019 and man was it a great trip. The drive started on Curtis Creek Rd. in the Pisgah National Forest and ended up at the Blue Ridge Parkway which we took a short distance to Mt. Mitchell. The views from the highest peak east of the Mississippi didn't disappoint.
