The CHS XC summer 2020 running camp was cancelled, so seven of the girls and two moms created a modified non-school supported running trip in Banner Elk, NC. And we are off!
Picnic lunch in Rutherfordton.
Evening run at the Emerald Outback Trail.
Cookout dinner! Our cabin was perfect and had an AMAZING view!
On Monday, we drove to Marshall, NC to go white water rafting with River and Earth Adventures on the French Broad River. Our group had two rafts and we had a lot of fun!
Serious paddlers.
Smiling paddlers.
Watch out, we are armed with a water gun and paddles and mean business!
Cliff jumping.
We ALL did it!
Ended the day with ICE CREAM in downtown Banner Elk.
Tuesdays run on Boone Fork Trail Loop.
We are not in FL anymore!
The trail had several beautiful falls that the girls ran by. I happened to catch them at this one.
On Tuesday afternoon, we drove to Boone, NC and checked out Appalachian State University's campus and the town of Boone. The girls were very interested in the track upgrades going on this summer!
Downtown Boone, NC.
Early dinner at the Come Back Shack.
