The Olson Trail is an “unofficial” offshoot trail from the main Shortoff Mountain Trail that begins at Wolfpit Road, near Lake James in Burke County, NC. It begins just after the juncture with the Mountain to Sea Trail (MST) at a small tree trunk marked by ribbon, traveling 0.66 miles as a one-way trail. Not for the faint of heart, the trail is recommended only for experienced hikers as it requires travelers to hug the side of 500 ft cliffs in places. It travels along the face of and just below the beautiful cliffs of Shortoff Mountain, making the unique views well worth the effort and trip, especially the visit to John’s Kitchen, an ancient cave once utilized by Native Americans (known from the ancient artifacts once found within the cave). The cave overlooks the western rim of the Linville Gorge and Pinnacle Mountain, offering views of both, as well as the Linville River below and Lake James to the south. Just beyond John’s Kitchen, the Olson Trail rejoins the Shortoff Mountain Trail as it ascends to the Shortoff Pinnacle. Check out a winter view of John’s Kitchen and the amazing ice formations within the cave.

“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”
—The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
"In the ethereal glow of spring's tender light, a fuzz-covered bud emerges, shrouded in hope, holding the secrets of renewal and ancient beginnings."

"What we find exotic abroad may be what we hunger for in vain at home" —The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
Temizu és la cerimònica de purificació que fem en mans i boca a l'entrada de la majoria de santuaris i en alguns temples budistes per alliberar-nos de tota maldat i contaminació.
Els passos són: Agafem un cassó amb la mà dreta, l'omplim d'aigua i ens l'evoquem a la mà esquerra. Fem lo mateix però al revés. Tornem a omplir el cassó i ens emportem l'aigua a la boca. Per últim, omplint el cassó, el posem en forma vertical perquè caigui l'aigua pel mànec i el netegi i el tornem a deixar boca a baix.
“No changing of place at a hundred miles an hour will make us one whit stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace”
–Ruskin
