I'm sure you've already been told about the cave at the end of Route 32 - takes about two days to get through, but it's remarkably easy to get lost in.

You might also want to be prepared for the forest directly after Azalea. It's not very difficult to travel, but you're likely to take longer to get through it than you'd first think.

It's a great trip though, and Ilex is just wonderful in summer.
