The temperature plummeted to before-freezing the last few days, climaxing (as I hid snuggly in the Surry Inn) with a gnarly ice storm that shut down the area county public schools. I waited until noon, then cycled the last 15 miles to near-Stone Mountain. Other highlights from this section of trail (aside from frigid temps) have been a GEM SHOP nestled in the valley of the foothills where I purchased a very heavy jar of honey made by bees in hives behind the shop, coffee shop eavesdropping, and the bull that I slept next to in a big red barn last night.
Today, I got a ride with Steven Joines to the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail annual meeting in Greensboro. It was fun being the smelly "celebrity" in the room for a few hours and hearing about the backroom tick-tockings of a snow-balling trail organization. Tomorrow to the trail!
