    New "Caruso Knee Rehab Plan" is to just skate across America. Side effects may include chunked wheels, high slim jim intake, and propensity to say "yo" to livestock.

    The main difference with the Appalachian mountains and the mountains you came from is the width. The mountains you have already passed were very steep and long but not very wide. The Appalachians are very wide so you will be going up and down and up and down. Just know once you get through the Mountains and Piedmont regions its all flat plains from there!
