Getting High

Should you ever find yourself in Johnson City, Tennessee on business (and I hope you don't), have 3 hours until sundown and fancy yourself a runner, might I suggest heading up to Carver's Gap at the TN-NC state line and running the trail up to Round Bald and Jane Bald. Warning: you may breathe hard. There were about six more balds (clear mountaintops with low brush and fantastic views) in the row that began with Round and Jane. I ran out of time and oxygen. Mostly oxygen.
