We got up early and drove to Linville Gorge and hike about 4.5 hours on the Mountains to Sea trail. It wasn't super hot, but no shade and a sunny day took a toll on Salem. Last 2 miles is a tough uphill climb and she was spent. We ended up stopping a few times to give her water and she'd lay right down on the trail. We took her pack off and strapped it to the top of mine and finished the hike.
We'd set up our tent near the parking lot at a nice overlook campsite, but Sarah wasn't feeling well with really bad allergies and Salem was done, so we packed up and headed home. Probably the best decision. And, we ended up getting a lot of yard work done on Sunday that was long overdue.
About 4.5 hours hiking, 9 miles.
