Ha! You have a keen eye there Anthony. Lukas Nelson is also on stage with him. Rumour was that Neil Young was in the house but it wasn't to be. But ya gotta love a little cameo appearance by Billy Gibbons!

I talked to Billy for about 45 min at a show once about Cadzilla & some of his other cars. Almost a completely hand built body by Boyd Coddington, Cadzilla is absolutely beautiful.

I finally got to hit a piece of the Appalachian Trail today--a small piece! I picked up the trail near Hamburg Reservoir and walked only about 6 miles--3 out and back--to get to a place called Pulpit Rock. The temps were in the 30s at the trail head, but the sun was shining on my Akubra Drover and me.

My three-mile section of the trail pales in comparison to the 2100 mile length of this incredible piece of America; the trail is marked with white blazes.

The change in elevation took me by surprise (900' gain), and the climb gets pretty technical in places, with rocks and boulders to negotiate, but man, the payoff...

The Drover seemed to enjoy the climb, too.

Cheers,
A

Great pics, Aaron! I love the AT. Hiked many miles of that joker. Never been as far North as you, but she's always had a special place in my heart.

 

[tropicalbob]

Same here. The photos really make me miss it. Maybe this summer.

 

[RJR]

I am very jealous on 2 counts:
Aaron's trek on the Appalachian Trail.
Robert's Willie concert. Last time I saw Willie in concert was my senior year in college, uh 35 years ago?

Thanks Perry! It was a blast. Willie's son Lukas was one of the opening acts and he's quite the talent as well. He has Willie's voice. Willie started just before midnight so the old man (82) can still hang! It was a great way to start the new year!

Great pics, Aaron, and I like that Drover.

Today I was in the mountains to visit my father.
To come back home I travelled a panoramic road from which I can see these important peaks

Mount Baldo (Berg Wald in German) is a mountain range in height of up to 2218 m between the provinces of Trento and Verona

The ridge spans mainly northeast - southwest
Mount Baldo is characterized by considerable geographical individuality.
It consists of a ridge parallel to Lake Garda that stretches for 40 km, from the lake to the west and the east Vallagarina

The Horn of Aquila (1,545 m) is a mountain of Lessinia in the Province of Verona. It marks the northern limit of the Valpolicella. Its name comes from the Latin AQUILUS, meaning bleak
On the north-east it is one of the world's deepest karst chasms, the Spluga della Preta, about 1000 meters deep. It looks like a sinkhole funnel and gives access to a number of wells. His first exploration dates back to 1925
Both these mountains sign the border of Vallagarine, the main road from East Italy to north for centuries.
I have the want to walk in the snow, but my shoes fails me

So I have to come back to the car and drive in a winding and deep valley to the plains near Verona

Great pics, Daniele. Your father must live up in a beautiful setting!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice pictures Daniele.
Only this week the snow come to the highest peak in Portugal.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Joao, it was the same in Italy.
I have many friend skiers that were frantic and desolate....now they are in a better situation

 

[mikespens]

Thanks for the views Daniele and hope the ski industry doesn't suffer this year.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

True Daniele. Here the people that rented a room on the highest peak for christmas had no snow.
We'll see if the sky industry will suffer. If the snow melt too soon... no skying.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

More or less there is snow on the Alps, now.
For winter sports in March you can make a final assessment

Beautiful Daniele! Thanks for sharing the pics!
