40 for Falls Lake?
Submitted by JoeMiller on 07/19/2008 - 18:04
Spent most of today out in the field with 60 or so hardcore (who else does workdays in the dead of summer?) volunteers with the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail. Their goal: Push section 14 through to Santee Road, thereby extending the entire Falls Lake Trail to 40 miles.
Did they make it?
You'll have to tune in to tomorrow's The News & Observer to find out. Also, check out the second installment in our four-part Mountains-to-Sea Trail series. It's a Sunday hiking extravaganzaaaaaaa!

Joe Miller grew up in Colorado, skied and hiked, but did not truly explore what all the outdoor world had to offer until moving to the Triangle in 1992. Since then, he's tried everything from diving with sand sharks off the North Carolina coast to clinging to the smooth face of Stone Mountain, 300 feet off the ground, wondering just how efficient the local search and rescue was. He still does a little of everything, but mostly hikes (writing "100 Classic Hikes in North Carolina," published in 2007) and bikes.
