Great hiking today on the Swamp Rabbit Trail from Travelers Rest to Greenville, South Carolina! My son, Michael, and I hiked about 15 miles on the Green Line of the Swamp Rabbit Trail from just north of Travelers Rest to downtown Greenville, SC. This fully paved trail goes through some very scenic areas and is used by many cyclists and hikers. We passed by Furman University and the nearby Woodlands retirement community where my good Rotarian friend and former VP Grants for the CART Fund, Dr. Jim Puryear, lives with his wife. Jim was delighted to hear that we were in his community and offered to pick us up in Greenville, bring us back to the Woodlands for a wonderful lunch, and even transport us back to my car in Travelers Rest! We had a great time catching up, meeting the administrator of the Woodlands, and being introduced to many of Jim’s friends. Our packs were fairly light (contains food, water, and water filter system), so the 15-mile walk was fairly easy compared to what I experienced in Maine on the Appalachian Trail and the Florida Trail in June and July.
