On August 9th, 2014 I plan on running across Carteret County, North Carolina. I will start at the Eastern-most point, which is at the Cedar Island Ferry, and run West along highway 70 and 24 to the Cedar Point/Swansboro Bridge, which is the Western-most point of the county. Here is a link to a google maps I have setup showing my exact route with approximate times:

One of Georgia’s longest and most scenic hiking trails can be found at F.D.R. State Park. Here you can experience the beauty of Pine Mountain firsthand, including unusual rock outcroppings and stands of hardwoods and longleaf pine. To help guide the way, the 23 miles of trails are well marked, but be sure to pick up a map from the park office before setting off on your journey.
