My hiking adventures
January 19, 2020 Sherri and I When we first started training for the make a wish 28.3 mile challenge we met a man who told us about hospital rock. He said it was a very tough trail. After all these years we decided to try it. I left from Clemson so we could have 2... Continue Reading →
12/28/19 Brandi, Christi, Andi, Jon and I This is a very fun and beautiful trail. It's actually not a trail anymore. It's a scrambler trail so you need a scrambler map to follow it or someone who's been there before. We met at the info cabin and then followed each other to Connolly Cove trailhead....
