Hillsboro, NC

Spent the first night of our journey at Julian's place near Chapel Hill. Learned about the ups and downs of being a bee keeper--loads of honey but the possible loss of stock due to neighboring pesticides for peach trees.

Wes makes handmade drums out of logs and minds after rabbits, ducks and chickens. We shared delicious natural breads, eggs, grounded coffee beans and green hummus. For dessert--raw balls of grounded berries, nuts and coconut flakes the size of shooter marbles. Camped in the tent but not before examining a huge teepee and sharing stories by the fire. A great first night to begin the journey (unfortunately lost a few pics of J's mom working w the bees).
