Since I wasn't able to head out to either Stone Mountain, Uwharrie or Kings Mountain, I decided to head over to Latta instead.
It was also later in the day. Due to time constrain, I hike about 6.45 miles in 1 hour and 57 minutes.
This time due to the challenge of the Cove trail, I started off on my right side after parking the car. Started off on Hill Trail to Cove Trail connector and on.
Things I learned:
1. I certainly prefer a banana during the hike. It seems to rejuvinate the mind and body.
Hiking at Latta Plantation
April 10, 2016:
In preparation for the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park
hike, this is the first extensive hike I did. I used Runkeeper to track my
progress.
I hiked about 14.08 miles in 4 hours and 31 minutes.
This hike taught me a lot on items I should carry, I would
need. My style of hiking and such.
I started about 7am in the morning, keeping in mind when the
gates are opened.
After parking the car, started off on my left side of the
trail. This is the trail, I mostly run o. Hill trail to shady trail. What got
me, was I kept deviating from the map to explore other sceneries.
When you are running, you are brushing through the
landscape, and it is hard to take in the beauty of a place. But hiking
certainly opens up all of the senses.
The last leg of the hike certainly kicked my butt quite a
bit. I didn’t expect Cove trail to be such rocky. Pretty much the whole trail
is rocky and there’s also a sign warns on that.
Things I learned on this hike:
1.
I like to have a headphone on during the hike
but not listen to anything
2.
I like wrapping a hotel around my neck
3.
I have a bad habit of not taking break,
practically at all.
