A Pair From The Backcountry Blog

Here are two very cool stories from the Backcountry Blog. First up is this trip report from a couple exploring Yangshuo China, which sounds like an untapped environment for outdoor adventure. They remark that there is plenty to do there, whether you're into kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, or what ever. This is one area of China I haven't been to, but it sounds like a great place, and the pictures are nice as well.

The second story is about an un-sanctioned relay race between colleges on the Presidenntial Ridge of the White Mountains. Eight teams actually showed up to run the race, and each team was broken into three grups that had to spread out over the 20+ mile course, and along the way summit all the ridges on the course. Sounds like crazy fun.
