I slept well until 7 am which is late for me. I took it easy fixing coffee on my porch and taking my time. Today was just 2 Parks then on to see my college roommate and his wife near Pineola. Coffee done and bike packed by 8:30 and I was off to Elk Knob State Park.

My last stop of the day was Grandfather Mountain State Park. Now don't get excited it is not what you think. Due to my numerous screwups trying to find the office with the Park stamp I called ahead to clarify the location. The State Park is not the same as Grandfather Mountain the tourist attraction. The office is in a little strip mall across from a lumber yard on the Rt. 105. It is 3 1/2 miles from the turn into the park. The park is only a dirt parking lot and trails that lead up into the primitive camping area. Very Rustic so don't expect to see the mile high bridge, that's down the road a ways. So no pictures!
