A shady route to two of our favorite rest stops, the Merkle Sanctuary and the Jug Bay Visitors Center.  There'll even be a third water and soda stop at Moore's Country Store 5 miles from the end, because Coca Cola never tastes great on a hot summer's day and we might as well get something good out of the weather.
