Tuesday, April 29, 2014 – 7:00PM – Leg 18/Day 30 – 56.9 Miles I got up real early this morning because I knew that I had a long haul today and I also saw last night that storms might be threatening in the late afternoon at Swansboro, my destination.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 – 10 PM – Leg 14/Day 24 – 33.1 Miles Started early today so that I could take a tour of Fort Sumpter where the Civil War began. What a place to see; the cannons alone are a reason to visit. I can’t imagine the noise those things must have made being fired, they are huge. Those soldier’s ears must have been bleeding after just a...
