Apollo Creed loves the mountains. One of the lesser-traveled, lower traffic hotspots though has to be the Coleman Boundary, out near Burnsville, NC. For some reason, this awesome part of Pisgah National Forest is often passed up for places like Brevard and Panthertown and places like that.

Douglas Falls is a pretty neat little waterfall that’s perfect for family hikes. Apollo gives Douglas Falls his stamp of approval for bringing along whiny family members.

Creed speaks to the gods. Gods love Apollo.

Apollo bathes directly under Douglas Falls. Kind of like cold wet pain therapy.

Apollo Creed can't leave well enough alone and screwed with this poor helpless salamander for about 5 hours.

Creed owns the forest.

Oooh scary what if it falls, it's only been here for a trillion years.

Apollo Creed hates the lack of rain and remembers back in the day when Douglas Falls didn't look like a pee stream.

Apollo was jonesing for some cold refreshing mountain creeks around Brevard, NC. We hit up our favorite lil’ swimhole, and then on the way back, hit up Hooker Falls just up the road in Dupont State Forest.

Apollo overlooks his favorite swimming hole on the Davidson River, in Pisgah National Forest.

Apollo loves caves.

Nothing really scares Apollo Creed.

Apollo sunbathes and nobody messes with him at all.

Apollo takes his chances on dangerous terrain.

Nothing beats cold ass mountain streams.

Apollo's landing wasn't so great. You and I would have long drowned here, but Apollo wasn't really phased at all.

The mountains be Apollo's playground.

Apollo at Hooker Falls, Dupont State Forest.

Crystal clear weather in Dupont State Forest. Apollo recalls the real asshole land developer that tried turning the Now-Dupont State Forest into a crappy subdivision. Apollo thinks that guys is a real jerk and would love to meet this dude some day.

Apollo wades in the pool under Hooker Falls.

Apollo loves looking at girls at Looking Glass Falls.

Apollo is damn strong.

Apollo ignores signs such as 'don't climb on the falls' and other ridiculous suggestions, and in fact, resents the very notion of safety.

Apollo really likes Hooker Falls.

Apollo needed a break from the daily grind. He heard that ridiculously expensive new highway 26 to Johnson City was really freaking pretty.

Downtown Johnson City welcomes Apollo.

Apollo loves to ignore signs

Old ass Coca-Cola wall. Really unique buildings dowtown, shame there is no economy here :(

Apollo chills

Apollo is off and exploring and complaining about the heat

Apollo at Atlantis. Whatever that was.

Most the buildings here are empty. Apollo gives free advertising. Johnson City is very pretty.

Apollo really had fun in this little park / alley thing.

Apollo came, he saw, and he left.

Apollo likes the tracks.

Apollo likes Johnson City.

Apollo just found out today that Paul Gleason had died some time back. You may better know him as Executive Police Chief Duane T. Robinson from Die Hard, he was the real dickhead giving Carl Winslow a real hard time. You’ve probably also remember him from The Breakfast Club and Trading Places Apollo thinks Paul Gleason was a damn good actor and is underrated.

Apollo salutes Paul Gleason, 'Executive Police Chief Duane T. Robinson'.

From Wiki:

Gleason died on May 27, 2006 at a Burbank, California hospital from mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer connected with asbestos, which he is thought to have contracted on building sites while working for his father as a teenager. He was 67 years old.

Yeah, finally Apollo gets him some action! I would post pics from the swinger scene that happened right after he gets head, but Apollo insisted we sell those to the Enquirer! and cash the fuck in. You guys surely understand…

The White Stripes gave Apollo much needed relief. Steve, is it enough for you to like the White Stripes?

Apollo fuckin loves flying. Apollo didn’t get enough the first time around, so he takes to the skies once again.

Incase you missed Friday night at Bele Chere, be sure to scope this shit out too. Saturday was way more fun. Way more drunks, way more beer, way more skin, way more women. Apollo had a great time and got really hammered scamming the Bele Chere wristband/beer thing.

Before heading off to Bele Chere, Apollo wanted to get good and liquored up with Don Chere at Mac Kell's Pub & Grill.

Dave was a damn good sport. Apollo loves Dave. Apollo gets brave.

For some reason Apollo does pushups before shotgunning 48oz of Bud Light.

Apollo smokes his cigarette looking on at the unsuspecting Bele Chere crowd.

Apollo along for a kick ass ride.

Tom and Apollo getting ready to give this guy taking a poop a real lesson in humiliation. Apollo Creed has no morals.

Apollo wuz hear.

Apollo fuckin loves Elmer's Produce. Apollo only shops at Ingles.

Every last motherfucker loves Apollo Creed and wants to be where he is.

Females apparently enjoy the way Apollo feels.

This guy was handing out fake money. Apparently god decided it was cool to trick people in order to save them from the other side.

Apollo about to take a big giant shit at the portajohn parkway.

Apollo attended this god rally. He was not impressed one bit.

Dave sticks Apollo as close as humanly possible to this poor saxophone guy.

It's too bad this chick likes the girls. She was a cutie. Apollo really wanted to grab her butt or something but it didn't happen.

The fuckin ladies just love Apollo.

Apollo really wanted to fly. Higher than an eagle in fact. The only reason he is flying on the road at about the same distance as the height of a car is because he thought it would be cooler that way. Nobody wants to see just a bunch of dots and shit on the ground.

Apollo has been waiting for Bele Chere for a long ass time now. He especially loved the baptist or whatever church charging $10 for parking, donating their proceeds to charity for an event that goes against most of what they believe in.

UPDATE: Apollo also heads to Bele Chere again on Saturday, check it out here.

Apollo at the amazingly dead Bele Chere Festival.

Apollo has a pad downtown. Why the fuck he would pay insane money for beer in a plastic cup is beyond my scope of understanding. Apollo had a sweet ass suitcase of Bud Light on standby.

This really nice lady didn't even check Apollo's ID. Apollo Creed needs no ID. He smashes in the tits of those who even entertain asking. Apollo obeys the law though, and stubbornly pays $2 lousy dollars for this shitty ass uncomfortable wristband.

Apollo fuckin loves shit from the bakery. The only bakery Apollo goes to is Sugar Momma's. Why? Because every other bakery is a joke and makes real shitty baked goods. Sugar Momma's uses actual people that drink low fat milk. Hi Pauline!

For more info on Sugar Momma’s unbelievable Cookies, scope ‘em out here! Hopefully soon they will invite Apollo in for some good eats!

Tom and Lauren closely guard Apollo Creed.

Apollo was good and well tanked and had to piss like a fighter in training. So much for Bele Chere.

Apollo loves country roads. He really fuckin loves John Denver’s Take Me Home Country Roads, because it came out the same year Apollo played his last game of professional football. Very sentimental.

Apollo Creed wants to save the planet.

If you have not tried Mountain Dew or Bud Light in these new style things, then you are so in a cave. Apollo knows the secret places where to get them. Oh, this is completely unrelated but the other day I heard Apollo say he always dreamed of accepting bribes of monetary value in exchange for information. Funny.

Apollo loves the Aluminum Mountain Dew Bottles.

Alright, now that Apollo is feeling a bit better after his wrenching day, we decided to give it another go. We had some NASA space shuttle launch quality weather, lending for several very wonderful flights.

In case you missed the part 1 fiasco, check out how Apollo builds a DIY parachute.

…and the subsequent rescue mission.

Apollo says lets get the fuck on with it already.

Apollo coming in for a sweet ass landing.

Not bad.

You know, Apollo is like a butterfly. And butterflies are free to fly. Fly away, high away, bye bye.

This hurt like hell.

There are no words to describe the freedom.

Parachute unfolding.

Almost open.

These flights are so rad because Apollo wholly understands parachute technology.

Apollo a little tense at first but he finally let it all go.

Yeah! Way to conquer your fears Apollo.

Getting the hang of it.

Now this is beautiful.

This landing really sucked ass for Apollo.

Apollo waves to those that love him and want to become him.

Look at how fucking smooth he comes in. Looks like Gregory Hines tap dancing.

Apollo creed can fly higher than an eagle. He is the wind beneath his own wings.

Other than a bit of dehydration and sunburn, Apollos 5-hours of being stuck in a tree is not serious and he expects to make a full recovery, and is ready to return to the skies for another round.

Apollo was stuck in this tree for a long time.

This rig should recover Apollo easily.

Apollo is golden and ready to try his kick ass new parachute again.

What a tumultous day for Apollo Creed. He isn't phased at all.

All systems go.
