Mountains to Sea Trail Segment 18 The Outer Banks. Cedar Island Ferry to Jockey's Ridge State Park.

The end at last. Nate and I start this segment by just making the ferry to Ocracoke Island. It's a beautiful few days of beachy sightseeing. Not to end the trip with too much ease though, unusually high winds add some extra intensity. The trip concludes with a celebratory sunset at Jockey's Ridge State Park.

What a cool way to do the trail! I was thinking the flat parts would get pretty boring, but a bike would be awesome. Thanks for recording it.

[@JeniferJourneys]

Yeah, that was the first time I'd done any sort of bike touring. I really enjoyed it! Would definitely do it again. Glad you liked the videos!

[@mlee1123]

Wonderful adventure. Thank you for taking me along. Already looking forward to the next one.

[@JeniferJourneys]

Glad you enjoyed it. Me too! 😊

[@lindaraysamazingadventures]

Woohoo...congratulations! Thanks for taking us along on the journey!!

[@JeniferJourneys]

Thank you! You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

I’ve watched every one of your videos. Thanks for a superb effort. I normally get bored when viewing such a longer series, but I guess your personality had me hooked. I’ll be doing the MST in April and try to watch every Vid out there to glean even a smidgin of knowledge about the trail. Still haven’t decided on an Eastbound or Westbound trek. I’ll be 80 y.o. for the hike so westbound may give my legs/body that extra build for the mountains. I Thru-Hiked the AT in 1998, but I’m pretty sure the old frame isn’t quite the same! THX again for a great rendition. VIKING AT98

[@JeniferJourneys]

That's high praise! Thank you! Yeah I get bored watching some hiking videos too, so I'm glad these were able to keep you entertained! You might still be on trail if you started in April. I hope it's going great! I'm so inspired by people like you who continue to do things like this in to their 80s. Incredible. I hope I can be as tough when I'm that at age! Best of luck out there! Whichever way you decided to go will be a rewarding finish. Happy Trails!

Congrats on your MST journey! Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. It's exciting to see someone do the hike/bike/paddle trifecta in one continuous trip. And a special thanks for documenting your trip down the Neuse river. Would love to try the paddle route someday. Safe journeys wherever your path leads next!

[@JeniferJourneys]

Thanks so much! It certainly brought some new experiences for me incorporating all three in to this trip, and has me excited about the possibility of other river and bike trips. I really liked the Neuse. Hope you get to do it someday!

[@CrystalSONeal]

I really enjoyed your videos! Congratulations on completing your MST adventure. I loved watching you on your own and enjoying this experience with Nate.

[@JeniferJourneys]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked them. Yes, I appreciate the alone time, but it's certainly fun to have an adventure buddy sometimes.

Hey...thanks for a great journey and good luck.

[@JeniferJourneys]

Thanks so much!

[@steveyost5530]

Congrats Jenifer! Thanks for bringing us along. I am so glad you did this in the fall. The outerbanks would have been bumper to bumper traffic on those roads.

[@JeniferJourneys]

Thank you! Yes, when I researched this trail a little, fall time to me always seemed like the perfect time. I'm glad I did it that way too.

[@jdumo7056]

@@JeniferJourneys When did you start the trail? It looked like perfect conditions to me. I was wondering what month you started.

[@JeniferJourneys]

​@@jdumo7056 I started in September and finished near the end of October. Yes, in general weather was great!
