Highlands Weather

Because I've attached this page to my running site, I'll be periodically updating you on some of the treats in store if you
come to the Highlands to run. Here's some starter info...

Directions are pretty easy to 555. From town (Main Street) take 64 like you're going to Cashiers and about 2 miles
down Hwy 64 you'll see a sign for Skyline Lodge and if you look real close, you'll see a moose sitting on that sign
drinking a martini! This is Flat Mountain Road. Take it and go about a mile til you cross over a bridge where the road
forks. Go right. You climb for another mile and about the time the road levels out you'll see a sign on your left and an
entrance to Flat Mountain Estates. It's a private dead end road...18 miles an hour please...that runs for about a mile.
555 is about .8 up on the right. All are welcome!!
