I have two hikes planned for today. Before we head further south to Hot Springs, I first need to knock out this 8.5 mile section. In order to get it done quick, I took just my camera and a water bottle. As soon as I left Sams Gap, I headed under I-26

The short road walk was over. Off I go into the woods.

My map wasn't showing a picture of a camera anywhere on today's section, so I was surprised when I came across a couple of nice views.

I met a local hiker who was out with her little dog, Pepper.

Lynn does all she can to save me some steps. That's our car right next to the style.

Now that I've tied up some loose ends, off for hike #2.
