Catawba Overlook the Easy Way
This is the easiest route to a nice overlook with a fine view of Blue Heron Mining Community down below. The trail is partially shared with horses and is a little mucky even after a few dry days. When wet, head to the waterfalls a little further along the trail - see notes below.

2021 Yamacraw 50K
I wear a Road ID bracelet and on it is inscribed, “Last Place > DNF > DNS.” Translated, that’s, “Last place is better than did not finish is better than did not start.” Coming in undertrained and in conditions that I’d rather hike than run, I hiked. A lot. And got that last place finish with only seconds to spare:-)
