A good hike at Kings Mountain in beautiful weather. I felt a little guilty knowing that a storm was raging back at home, leaving Tanner and Graham in the dark.

A quick ride on the park road, taking in a few rolling hills. What a great day. We head north tomorrow, into the belly of the beast.

A wonderful ride at the beach. We really lucked out on the weather -- high 70s and stunning sunshine.



(This was at sunrise, so not alot of sun...yet.)

The only slight bummer was a very strong wind which was blowing out to sea, so I had a side wind both ways. I could manage it except for one particularly strong blast that almost blew me off the road. I rode out to Bodie Island lighthouse and back.



Although the scenery mostly included sand and marshes, there was a fair amount of woods that looked inviting.

A glorious hike at Ratlum Mountain. I'm not sure of the actual time, but this is definitely less than what it was. And it included quite a climb back up to the top of the mountain, which I managed just fine (and which I heard a certain PG was a little disgruntled about when he made a similar trek in an earlier time).

This was the culminating event of a wonderful time spent with Charlie and Rhonda, really the most spectacular hosts. The food, the views, and the company were all top notch.
