I used to hike there fairly often. I tried to go there about 2 weeks ago, and there were numerous No Parking signs up, and everything was blocked off. Is that a seasonal thing? What the damn?

maybe use the Glenwood entrance?

1/5/2008 11:59:11 AM

That's exactly it. Fucking sucks. I suppose I'll have to walk 3 miles to get to my 4 mile path. Awesome.

^Ebinezer Church is off Glenwood. I'm not sure how to get to where I need to go from the main Glenwood entrance...much less how far these parking areas are from where I hike. I'll have to DL a map or something.

i went to umstead park at the harrison ave. exit once

1/5/2008 11:59:54 AM

if you go in through the entrance at glenwood, they have a large map posted.

1/5/2008 12:36:13 PM

right on.

but i'm still 95% sure there's nowhere to park within 2-3 miles of where I hike.

1/5/2008 12:37:04 PM

hahahahha


take me to the park sir

1/5/2008 12:41:11 PM

yes, i have a car, Josh.

what i've been saying is that where I used to park (about 500 yards from my hike path), is now marked for No Parking. I have to find a new place to park. Though, I'm pretty sure there's nowhere to park within 2-3 miles of where I hike.

^exactly

o i figured dare wuz odder trailz...u could always go 2 l johnson

1/5/2008 12:42:32 PM

i like hiking NOT with 452 other people at once.

it's part of the lure. the peace.

1/5/2008 12:43:55 PM

ok i'm back to 2 hands

dude 452 people at once???? i'm guessing thats your way of saying "i'm too good for lake johnson"...i go there quite often my friend, and people have never been a problem...if people are a prob for you, i dont know what to tell you cause thats kinda strange to mee

1/5/2008 12:46:03 PM

Joel is scene even when it comes to trail selection

1/5/2008 12:49:06 PM

oh lord.

i don't know why i bother. but i will

i have no general problem with people.

but hiking is a greater activity to me than simply breaking a sweat, burning a few calories. i enjoy being able to be more or less alone in a natural environment. it's good for my mind, etc.

do you need any more insight?

1/5/2008 12:50:58 PM

they've also done this at the reedy creek entrance, since they're building a bunch of houses out that way. now there's hardly anywhere to park, and i LOVE that entrance

1/5/2008 12:52:06 PM

^used to ride my bike up around that area

i agree. might be an area farther down the trail (maybe), but i feel your pain.

1/5/2008 12:58:18 PM
