Cooper, Bob, and I headed to another nearby trail today before more rain heads in this week. It’s called the Thermal Belt Rail Trail, and it’s a 13.5 mile paved trail that runs from Forest City, past Rutherfordton (where we walked the other day) to Gilkey. We were checking it out, not just for a good walk, but to see if it might be a good option for my long training runs in preparation for my May marathon.
We were very impressed. The trail itself was well paved, looked new, and there were mile markers along the course.
