This was an interesting trail I found today. I parked at PNC arena then followed a pathway that went under Edwards Mill rd. And route 40. The first mile is nothing special. It's a very wide Greenway with a ton of manholes. But it leads you to a smaller trail that borders the Schenck forest and turns into loblolly trail in Umstead! This area was very pretty and followed what I believe was Reedy Creek. The best part is I walked 4 miles total and only saw 3 other people!

New World Coffee House was a nice surprise. Located in a strip mall in Raleigh, NC on Pleasant Valley Rd. Good seating and wifi I think. Muffins and sandwiches looked good. Really friendly baristas and that's where it got good for me. I always put a little sweetener in my espresso drinks but they had a "traditional European" style that used organic whole milk, that he promised me had some sweetness to it. It did and was excellent.
