Zero day (no AT mikes). Relaxing day in Demarcus. Went for a downhill cycle, they shuttled you to the top of the mountain and let you out. Real relaxing. It was an old railway line that was used to take timber and ore out of the hills. It had the old wooden trestle bridges. They wouldn’t pass for a train now but for bicycles it was safe enough. It’s called the Virgina creeper trail. It’s because the steam train crept up some of the steeper gradient.
I met a lovely bunch of police officers at the last shelter. They hike every year for their fallen work mates. On the way down the trail after seeing the bear I caught up to two of them. As I got close to them I roared and the last guy jumped and turned and said “you know I’m packing”!!!! Maybe the bear isn’t the most dangerous thing in the trail. We had a good laugh.

Haha cant believe you are still jumping out at people on walks! Not a great idea with Police officers.. The bike ride looks cool not as extreme as the one in Switzerland! Keep the videos coming.
