Sooooo halfway through our ride we got to the state park bridge and heard a terrifying scream. Must have spooked something as we saw a massive thing fly off the bridge…..it was either:

A. Blue Heron
B. Bald Eagle
C. Batman
D. shaneanigans_828

Which one do you think it was?!? 🫣 #overmountaincycles #fontafloratrail #lakejames #salsacycles #titimberjack #burkecounty #morgantonnc #trailride #nightride #rideyourbike

In honor of black history month we want to highlight notable Burke County legend Etta Baker. She was a critically acclaimed blues artist who received several awards, including the North Carolina Folk Heritage Award. She also received the North Carolina Award in 2003, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the state.

In 1956, five of her songs were included on the album, Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians, which was one of the first commercial banjo albums released by an African American, and included her hit song, "One Dime Blues." Her music influenced other artists, including Bob Dylan and Taj Mahal.

You can visit bronze statue and dedication outside of City of Morganton Municipal Auditorium (CoMMA) as well as go inside to see her guitar and other memorabilia from her musical career.

It is the beginning of the annual Peregrine Falcon nesting season which means we will have a few closures on popular rock climbing areas in the Linville Gorge. Main areas are Shortoff Mountain, Bynum Bluff and the NC Wall. For a full detail list visit the US Forest Website (link in bio).

As I got closer to my car the other day, I took a look at the Catawba River from an overlook that I passed by during the beginning of my greenway walk. #CatawbaRiverGreenway #MorgantonNC #Morganton #NC #NorthCarolina #CatawbaRiver #LakeJames #GreenleeFord #OvermountainVictoryNationalHistoricTrail #overmountainvictorytrail #NationalParkService #NPS #morgantongreenway #morgantonparksandrec #discovermorganton #discoverburkecounty #BurkeOut #ncfoothills #WNC #westnorthcarolina #BlueRidgeMountains #828isgreat #naturesplayground #summer☀️ #August2nd #hothumidday😉☀️🌦

I took a detour off the greenway to visit Catawba Meadows Park to relax and recharge for a bit. IMO one of the biggest highlights of the park is its extensive network of zip lines known as the Beanstalk (and no I did not ride them). 😁 #CatawbaRiverGreenway #CatawbaMeadowsPark #MorgantonNC #Morganton #NC #NorthCarolina #CatawbaRiver #LakeJames #BeanstalkZipLines #BeanstalkBuilders #CatawbaMeadows #GreenleeFord #OvermountainVictoryNationalHistoricTrail #overmountainvictorytrail #NationalParkService #NPS #morgantongreenway #morgantonparksandrec #discovermorganton #discoverburkecounty #BurkeOut #ncfoothills #WNC #westnorthcarolina #BlueRidgeMountains #828isgreat #naturesplayground #summer☀️ #August2nd #hothumidday😉☀️🌦

This is my favorite open water swim photo of myself; certainly I have better and more poised shots… but this captures in essence, what I love about the sport - water, nature, unpredictability, and sheer joy. The vastness of the lake and earths around me, entirely absorb me - and my worries are momentarily washed away. 💙

Brown Mountian didn’t disappoint. We took Ryan and Quinn on Monday night. Quinn spotted the lights first and we watched for a good 20mins or so as they danced in and out of the trees. Definitely a memory that will last forever. #brownmountainlights #brownmountain

Fall in discoverburkecounty never disappoints. 🍁 Just look at these colors in the Grand Canyon of the East! 😍

Seeing her eyes light up as bright as the sun, soaking in every second making the best of the moment.

Watching this sunset unfold with leslie_restivo was truly amazing. It was a perfect way to end the day with someone special.

I hope you enjoy.
