Today we're hiking Saxba Hall Island, so come along for the ride. Trying to jog to get as much of it done as possible. So today I'm out here at Saxba Hall Island Park in Saxba Hall, North Carolina. I'm about to hike Saxba Hall Island Loop Trail, check out the dam, and of course the hall river, which is all around the park. So unfortunately this park only stays open until 6 p.m. And it is right now just about 5 o'clock, so I'm going to have to go as fast as I can. It's not really a very long trail, so it's not a big deal. But I do like to get as many photos as I can, and that is pretty time consuming the process. All around the trail there are little patches of ground I do. You can see it right here. Got these little purple trumpet shaped blooms. This is actually used to be used as kind of flavoring for beer of all things. So you could also call it the beer flower. So I'm right now at that little abandoned mills side to hold you about. This as far as I can tell is it right here. You can tell by the way the river divides, and then one portion of it goes immediately behind me, and the other goes on the opposite side. That is one of the classic indicators of a mill race, which is where the water is channeled in order to power the mill itself. So I'm headed back from that abandoned mill, and it turns out it takes a hell of a lot more time to take a selfie with a tripod that it does with basically your own hand. It's ridiculous. You have to find the perfect position, perfect light, perfect background, get into the perfect posture or action. Then take a million and a half photos, and help one of them turns out well. So I'm now about to go down a steep bank that leads to a stream which bisects the island. And then I'll be on the far side. This is that little stream right here. Continue on the other side. Yeah, there's a lot of sand here, so it's a little bit difficult to get a good grip with your shoes. There we go. So it's now just about 5.37. I've got 23 minutes to get back to the parking lot. There's still about half of the trail left, so I don't know how much I'm going to be able to cover, but I can't do it all today. I'll have to come back and do it another day. So I'm a little bit out of breath here. I'm trying to jog to get as much of it done as possible. I'm under the bridge now, the bridge that leads to downtown Saxba Hall. So that's the bridge I just crossed underneath right there. And on the opposite side, swimming out of a foot in my eye. Wow. There is in the distance the dam. These Saxba Hall hydroelectric dam. So I'm just about to get back to the parking lot here at Saxba Hall Island Park. Just shy at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. And this is a wonderful location. Got some great views of the Hall River, the Saxba Hall hydroelectric dam. And then of course that weird fish sculpture slide, which you really got to see for yourself.
