Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Heiss Mountain to Amphitheater

2.7.12  Renee, Pat, Nance Jo, George, McBob and Earl.  Pictures contributed by Earl, George and McBob.  Perfect day for a hike.  Cloudless blue sky and sweatshirt temperatures and in Feb!  Started off with Earl forgetting his drink.  Luckily there was a store near by and all was now well.  Initially we started off with the idea of only going about 1.5 miles to the bridge at Big Possum Creek, but good old George decided that maybe it would be a good idea to go to the Amphitheater.  This was agreed to by all.  Nance Jo and Earl followed the old road while the rest took the high trail to the theater and then down to the road where we all met.  From there we returned.  A stop at Micky Dee's provided much needed sustenance for all.  The total distance was approximately 5 miles and I would rate the route as moderate.  For some pictures, click here, or on the Heiss Mountain tab above.
