Crabtree at 48F

2.7 miles
I kayaked Lake Crabtree in 48F weather with a splash jacket and pants to keep me dry and layered clothes underneath to keep me warm. I went straight across to Crabtree Creek, past the Evans Road bridge, and back. I met a friend on the beach to take some photos of me using my phone.

Today, I went with Rod for his Umstead Ruins Hike, going around Umstead Park and seeing old homesteads and other sites and learning about the history of the area.  We started at the Reedy Creek parking lot and head down Company Mill Trail to start.  Early on, Rod pointed out a rock pile, a sign of an old homestead.  Then on to the Company Mill Site.  Here Joe, who was a child...
