Stringers Ridge

12.23.10  2.5 miles  Nance Jo, Caroline & Earl explored more of Stringer's Ridge.  It was a cold beautiful day for this hike.  Stringer's Ridge has many many interconnecting trails so we decided to explore some of them.  After wandering around for a couple of hours we had pretty well explored the SW corner of the Ridge.  We found the foundations and remains of two old homes, one of which was made mostly out of logs. Next time we will explore further into the Ridge.  After hiking we went to Tubby's and had a good lunch.  Caroline and Nance Jo went on to explore the Blue Blazes train at Moccasin Bend.  For pictures click on the Stringer's Ridge tab above.

Enterprize South

12.21.10  Caroline W.  Nance Jo O.  Earl H.  It was a dark and rainy day when we set forth on our first visit to Enterprize South and their new trail system.  It is going to be interesting to see if they can achieve there goal of keeping walkers, runners and cyclists separate from each other and from cars.  If they catch a runner on the road, they pick him up and bring him back to the trailhead!  The trails are very good and wide.  They are designed for two across walking.  Although damp and rainy we had a good time on the trail.  Following the hike we had the opportunity to discuss the trails with Lee Greenwood, manager of the Visitor Center.  Of course we offered our suggestions.  The trails we took went 4.3 miles and I would rate as easy.  Two view pictures click of the tab above or here.
