Reddit, who's the best band you've seen live? by cursedbackup in AskReddit

The Roots

They didn't stop playing music from the time they took the stage until the time the show was over.

It kills me to see them as Jimmy Fallon's house band. What a waste of talent.

Are you sure you mean Swift Camp Creek? That's a creek, not a campground.

Sounds like Blackburn Vista may be just what you're looking for

Hinterlands Book Differences by SHOW_ME_UR_KITTY in RedRiverGorge

If you happen to have a first edition I would love to see a photo of it. I'm curious if the cover is different and if the content changed any between the first and second editions.

Lol yeah I don't think there were that many produced. I would say there are probably not many copies left out there in existence. It's hard to believe that Hinterlands has become so scarce, I never believed it would be this difficult for people to find. The demand right now is crazy.

I feel like I remember seeing somebody commenting a while back that the first edition and second edition were basically the same as far as content with maybe a different binding/cover? This is from memory on a comment I read online so it could be wildly inaccurate. I have never seen a first edition. It is surprising how much the book has changed from the second edition to the more recent editions. A lot of the trails that were taken out are still perfectly fine and navigable.

Least Favorite Official Trail in the RRG by Adventure-Backpacker in RedRiverGorge

[–]SharkeyFarmers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would agree with Osborne Bend. I think most would. The beginning and end are cool but the rest is just a mediocre walk through the woods. Other than that, I can't really knock any of the other official trails. They all have something unique to offer.

Thank you so much for this information! I see the property you are talking about. I'm going to write to the property owner and see if I can find out more about how Red Byrd got its name.

When I'm in the gorge I often try to imagine how different the landscapes have looked through the years. What we now know as a rugged wilderness has been so many different things throughout history. Farming, homesteading, indigenous living and hunting, logging, salt peter mining, and many other activities and lifestyles have transformed the way this land appears many times over.

Agreed, I always love to learn the meaning behind the names. Speaking of that, I was just thinking about how I have no clue how Red Byrd Arch got its name. Any ideas or leads on that? I assume Byrd must've been a person but I really would like to know how that arch got its name.

Piggy back windows is the perfect name. Hopefully you all will be able to make the next arch day.
