@BCSAnna Hi. I originally sent this to Benay, having read your response to her, and thinking it was her post. So here is what should have been tagged to you.
You are 5 days ahead of me. I start week 3 tomorrow. I too love the beach, and you have some beautiful ones along the East Coast. We are about 5 hours away from the nearest beach, so we don’t get there too often. Back in the early 60’s I drove a truck on a route North from LA which included about 75 miles of coastline. I had time to stop and spend 1 - 2 hours on the sand almost every day. Never used a Surfboard, but became very proficient at body surfing. One of the best jobs I ever had.
Although we are a long way from the beach, we do have many beautiful waterfalls in South Carolina. Most of them require at least a short easy hike, some of them a not-so-short-not so-easy hike. Because of my bad knees, I have only been able to do the short ones, and even for those, it’s been a couple of years. I too look forward to being able to resume doing things which I enjoy so much. Based on what I learned from round 1, I have set a target date on my calendar to visit one of my local favorites, a short, easy one.
You’ll be walking the waters edge before you know it, and I’m sure you will enjoy it very much, maybe even better than ever before.
