I'm stealing this idea somewhat from the lovely and creative Rachel Armstrong, who, preceding her very recent relocation to Seattle, made an NC bucket list and checked items off as she went. So, following is my current compilation of all the things I would like to do while in the mountains for the summer, based off what I have been told by various people and things I've found on my own. It's pretty long, and I most likely won't hit all of the items on it, but I'll do my level best.
