Location: Jordan Lake (Blue and Red Trail)
Date: 2/20/2011
How far we went: 5.16mi
How long it took us: 2:18:54
Elevation reached: 434ft
Weather: Sunny, but chilly.
Decided to be adventurous on back to back days and headed down to Jordan Lake on the Red and Blue trails because they were apparently the most challenging. Some minor ups and downs as you come close to the water. However, when you're this far away from the metropolitan area (Raleigh), you expect your mind to be taken off mass consumption and our throw away culture. That's why I hike, so I can get away from the insanity and information overload.... Anyways, as you come close to this beautiful (but small) body of water, you see all the trash and crap all up and down the shores from where garbage has been discarded into the water. Pathetic, really. That combined with the 20-30 people we came across made it not of my favorite places. Maybe I need to revisit, only next time be on the water instead.
