Couple weekends on MST
We put another 50 miles of progress on the Mountains to Sea trail (MST). We are now 100 miles into it… about 10%. Lateef thinks maybe 30% due to the fact this is the most strenuous part, however after hiking for 2 weekends you start to get focused a little much on things like that. The 100 mile mark was a great celebration and maybe a little too much wine. And we ended at the Pisgah Inn. Not only is the food good at the inn but the views are amazing. It was a nice break from the woods, woods and more woods. We did hike a bit on the parkway just to see some views one day but mostly we spent it in the woods. We are excited for the next section because it ends in Asheville. After that my guess is we will be excited for the bicycling to start but that is a good couple hundred miles from Asheville.
Crazy thought Lateef has had is sailing from New Bern and throughout all the outer banks section. This of course means we need to learn to sail and rent a sailboat.. Probably more likely is taking a canoe, and even more likely we will just bike to the end and save ourselves a lot of time. For now though we will be looking to learn how to sail to see if that is possible. So where do we learn to sail? Is it easy to rent a boat we can take up the coast? Guess we don’t have to worry about that for a couple years.
