Friend Diefenbaker (a.k.a. Scott) and I met up this morning at
the
Panther Branch Natural Area, in Orange County, NC, near the little town of Efland, to get in some hiking
and geocaching. The natural area borders the Eno River, and the trails offer
some great views from on high—as in big hills; oh, me feet!
We put in a good couple of miles on the trail, and then we headed after a
couple of dozen park & grab hides in the Mebane, NC, area. I've gotta
holler real loud about
Catrina's Tequila & Taco Bar
in Mebane, where we had lunch; they reliably have THE best Mexican food and
drink of any place in the region that I've been. The street tacos and
margaritas are especially praise-worthy.
A few pics from the trail below.
