Day 2: Camping in Waynesville, NC to Spruce Pine, NC

Last night, we wound up making camp in Waynesville (about 25 miles off the Parkway). This morning, we awoke to ice on the bike covers; pretty hardcore if you ask me. We ate breakfast and packed up camp in a couple of hours. The best part of breakfast was definitely the Colombian Supremo from Ekklesia.

We hit the Parkway at Mt. Pisgah and made it to Black Mountain before having to detour up I-40 for about 45 miles. That puts us in Spruce Pine, NC at a McDonald's. The locals are warning us about rain for the rest of the week. The weather has been pleasant thus far; we'll continue to include sunshine in our morning prayer request list (along with no mechanical issues, no banjo players, etc.). We hope to reach Peaks of Otter by tonight. We'll update if we find a signal.

Donation Total Thus Far: $517.00
Thanks to Bev Johnson for her donation.

  1. Please add to the prayer list protection from the BEARS. Those tents don't look too bear proof to me. Note also that those banjo players have dulcimer-playing kissing cousins up thar in them thar hills just waiting to meet you city boys! Please be careful and Be Sweet and Love Jesus!!
