1 mile; 303 ft. total elevation gain; Pensacola Township, NC This was a Wildflower Foray sponsored by the Asheville Mushroom Club (I know, right?), so as such, it took us over 3 hours to walk 1 mile along this trail. And the road TO the trailhead was a serious adventure, too, in that it was […]

1.81 miles; 367 ft. total elevation gain; Hot Springs, NC I did start out with the best of intentions on this hike, I really did. I meant to do a longer route called the Pump Gap Loop which includes a bigger section of the Appalachian Trail but, well, it was HARD, as in steep and […]

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 […]

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 […]

1 mile; New Quay, Wales, UK We had a lot of trouble even finding the Coast Path here, and gave up and just did a short stroll around town. Lots of lovely front doors in this town! There were still a lot of boats out on the beach? strand? Whatever you call it. The British […]
