June 2021: Road Trip: Beaufort, Asheville, Knoxville

The Tesla was a COVID baby, so this was its first road trip. I spent more time at charging stations than was necessary due to my charging anxiety. Is this REALLY enough charge? Bert & Sarah Scott were my tech support buddies and helped with that anxiety.

Our lone Tesla.
At the busy stations, some of the owners would stand around and trade Tesla stories. That was fun.

Beaufort, South Carolina

Spanish Moss Trail: Started with the intention of 6-8 miles, but I barely made 3 miles! Not sure why I had so much trouble; maybe a combo of fatigue, heat, and that Low Country humidity. Still, it was a pretty walk through the marshlands.

Asheville, North Carolina

The North Carolina Arboretum: A leisurely five-mile walk through woods and along waterfalls followed by a stroll through the bonsai exhibit.

June 2021: This week’s walk along Tomahawk Creek Trail

Summer is here and the greens are luscious! Same ol’ path most days, but always something new and fascinating. Highlights for this week:

Irish Wolfhound takes his person for a walk.
Tiny Turtle rescue. This little guy was slowly crossing the path. He was as small as a leaf.
Green tunnel about 1/2 mile from I-Lan Park
One of the ponds. Stocked with bass, catfish and a few other varieties.
