Karl went hiking June 26, 2015 14.5 miles 500 feet gained
The forecast called for temps over 90° just about everywhere. We preferred mid-50°s, and found it!
Located a trailhead along a road outside Cape Lookout State Park, which enabled avoiding the entry fees. This descended through the coastal rainforest to the beach, thus giving us our only EG for the day at the very tail end of the hike. Just meandered down the foggy beach for seven miles or so, before wrapping around the end of the spit to find a sunny, relatively wind-free lunchspot with a view of the bay, frolicking seals, and fun-seeking boaters and surfers. Then we returned the way we came, only seeing people in very close proximity to the state park.
