After almost a full week of rain and mostly short walks in the neighborhood or down to the post office, the three of us took advantage of the sunny day to explore a new (at least for the humans) trail. Bob had found the First Broad River Trail in Shelby, so it was close and also allowed for a quick pop in to the library for a book return and pick up.
We had done a short walk at the Broad River Greenway in Boiling Springs. The First Broad River Trail is a 1.5 mile natural surface trail that follows the First Broad River. As you will see, it runs under a steel railroad trestle and across the First Broad River via a 170-foot long suspension bridge.
Fun Wikipedia Fact: The Broad River originates in the Blue Ridge Mountains and flows generally south-southeasterly through or along Rutherford, Polk, and Cleveland (where we are) counties in North Carolina before going into South Carolina. The First Broad River and the Second Broad River are 2 of the tributaries of the unenumerated Broad River.
We had a great walk and crossed paths with about 8 other humans and 3 other dogs.
