Day 3

We slept in a little this morning and then cooked some breakfast. Yum. It was cold and a little damp today but we got dressed for a hike and headed out.

The Mountains to Sea Trail runs right behind the cabins so we picked it up headed East. This trail runs along the Blue Ridge Parkway and is really nice. We hiked for about an hour total and it started raining on us a bit as we headed back to the cabin. We had some lunch and hung around the cabin for a while until I had to get out. It was still a bit sprinkly and in the low 40s but I bundled up and headed out on the bike.

I rode up to the trail and headed West. The trail was awesome on the bike with good flow going up and down. I was following pretty closely to the Parkway, going on it a few times for road crossings. I rode for about a half hour until I saw a no bikes sign so i turned around and headed back.

I passed the cabins and headed the way we'd hiked earlier. After about a mile going that way I met a runner who informed me that this trail was closed to bikes, hiking only. Oooops!! There weren't any signs saying no bikes except for the one where I'd turned around(assuming it was that section only). Oh well. It was a sweet ride on some sweet trail.

Tonight we're going out for BBQ with Raine's cousin. Gotta get BBQ up here!! I'm gonna hit the hot tub again after dinner. Then tomorrow hopefully I'll get to ride Bent Creek in Pisgah National Forest before we head out to Raleigh. See ya then.
