Was up at stone mountain today in NC and theres a gas station right up the road from there that makes damn good pizza and subs. Call it in from the pay phone in the parking lot, drive up the road and your pizza will be coming out of the oven the minute you walk in the door. Such a perfect timed drive up the hill. Add a few packs of beer and a pickled egg and call it an evening!

Forget the pickled egg, add a fatty or a special brownie. Now we are talking!

After climbing I always crave a big juicy burger and fries or sushi. If I'm in the backcountry, I settle for a power bar and nuts.
