2.11.12  Pat, Nance Jo, George, McBob, Earl    Pictures contributed by Earl, George and McBob.  Cold!  When we started the hike it was 23F and snowing.  When the hike was over it had warmed all the way up to 24F.  George, McBob and Pat decided to do the approximately 10 mile loop while Nance Jo and Earl would take a shorter route out and back.  Believe it or not, there were other people out hiking and even some trail runners!  Everyone started at the Cumberland Trail parking lot.  Nance Jo and Earl went to the Indian Rockhouse and then onto Snooper's Rock.  Their total distance was 6.9 miles.  Once we got going everybody warmed up the hike went fine.  The only really cold time was the snack break at Snooper's Rock.  I would rate the hike as moderate.  For a few pictures, click here or on the Prentice Cooper tab above.
