the Second CNCSHC Hike
The second CNCSHC hike was held on
November 25, 2007 at the
Uwharrie National Forest (http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/recreation/uwharrie/)
on the
Badin
Lake Hiking Trail.
This trail is a loop
trail that follows the shore of Badin Lake for half its distance, then loops
back through hardwood forest to Cove Boat Ramp. The trail length is 5.6
miles. Although the trail difficulty was rated "easy" (apparently due to its
relatively mild elevation changes), it wasn't always very kind to our human
hikers' feet and ankles; the numerous rocks and holes along most of the
trail caused a few turned ankles before we were done! Of course, the dogs
had no problems! The hikers included Eugen, Silvia and Patrick Behr (with
Jack, Lula and Ally, all in packs), Harold Barnhardt (with Libby wearing a
pack), Joni and Adam Barnhardt (taking turns walking with Sophie, not
wearing a pack and not pictured below), and Lindsey and Karl Prinsep (with
Zara and Odin, both in packs).
