Well first of all i think we should thank our sponsors
OMG and
LOL, because there was a lot of Oh My God this hurts, or Oh My God are we almost done. But like always there is a lot of laughing out loud, we seem to always find the fun in things.
To be honest I dont think we were ready for 8 miles, and we were kind of in a pickle with planning this hike. We know this area pretty well and knew it was going to be a hard day but i think it was harder than planned. This was a great learning experience for Deb and me, and I'm pretty sure James leaned something also.
We started out pretty much were we finished on our first hike. We didnt do the paved on Curryville road, ( about 1.9 miles )we started on Whispering Forest Trail . So we started off in pretty good spirits except for Deb having problems with her bag, but she got that fixed pretty fast. This area had a little bit of everything to see from the palmettos, to the wide open areas, to the fern forest, and even The Little Big Econ river. We really only saw 2 people on the trail until we got into the Econ area, and then it got busy with people ( but we knew it would be).
The campsite that we wanted was taken, but we did get our second choice, which i thought was a great location. We were surrounded by trees, which did give us plenty of fire wood. The one main problem with this area to camp in is the college is not far and the students love this place to party in. We did have noisy neighbors til about 2 am, but again we knew this could happen. This is still a great place to camp out, and it is pretty close to the house.
