2.1 miles; Asheville, NC Today was a lovely long walk to two very nice greenway trails in Asheville: Reed Creek Greenway and Glenn’s Creek Greenway. They basically meet at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, which were, of course, closed. Also, a bonus stroll through a technically closed Weaver Park. As I’ve mentioned before, I walk […]

6.7 miles; Pisgah National Forest, NC I’ve been getting most of my local trail info from AllTrails, and this hike was no exception.

1 mile; Portmeirion, Wales, UK This is the place that the old “Prisoner” TV show was filmed. It was quite surreal. I did a quick little walk around in the surrounding woods, and found a dog cemetery that made me cry. What a cool place! In case you’ve never heard of it, The Prisoner was […]
