someone on my east vs west coast hiking post left these tags

"#i mean theres hiking on the east coast that isnt in the mountains #the entire east coast isnt just the appalachians #if youre in georgia low country there's some nice perfectly level state park forest hiking you can do"

and like... babe I hate to tell you this but "hiking that is perfectly level" is called going for a walk. which is fine! I love a nice walk in the woods! that's not what we're all talking about though. that's a different thing.
