Local bloggers tackle the Mountains-to-Sea Trail

Thursday, November 12th, 2009
A couple of bloggers long-time readers of this blog will probably be familiar with have decided to tackle the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.

Beginning in late October, Sharon (a.k.a., Smoky Scout), and author, Danny Bernstein began section hiking the entire MST. The two plan to complete trail, which crosses the state of North Carolina, over the course of the next two years.

The Mountains-to-Sea Trail stretches 1,000 miles from Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains to Jockey’s Ridge on the Outer Banks.


You can follow along as they make their journey across the state. Both Danny and Smoky Scout will be blogging about their triumphs, trials and tribulations over the next two years.
