In Sept 2024, end of the month almost the beginning of October ... when the hurricane Helene (if you check out those pics above you can see the high river waters, wild how waters go, just take over the lands, wild times!!!) had just came through, shocked how it really effect the area considering we don't live on the coast, I wouldn't be surprised if the coast was even worse off ...which we knew would be the case ...but it's just amazing how rough it truly was ... lots of rain and wind (which caused accidents, power outages, lots of limbs and trees down, where my parents are, they had local school all messed up, some students were unable to get home because of down trees, the parents were really quite stressed over it all. can't imagine how the teachers felt with it all. just a time of things). 11 miles is what we did that day, round trip. There was much more to be ridden but we did enjoy the day either way! It was a busy day, lots of folks hiking, biking and just enjoying the beautiful weather day. Even stopped in to see a bike guy to work on my headset (the hand bar area of my bike, who knew what this or that is called, I was not in the know it all, learning always.) Thank you for stopping by. Take Care and see you once again next week. Be Well. Beth ( ;
