“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #9 Mount Leconte
I remember a trip to the smokey mountains when i was little. We went to Mount Le Conte. It is 6,593 ft tall and we went to climb it and then stayed the night at the top. The next morning we hiked back down tot he bottom. I just remember how much fun it was to climb and hike. It was great to be a part of nature and to not be surrounded by all the technology and stuff of modern day life. It took a few hours to climb, but was well worth the effort and time it took. I was great to see all the nature and the lookouts on the way up were stunning.
