6.30.12  Rainbow Lake Loop on Signal Mountain.  Donna, Caroline, McBob, Ed, Earl, John and Larry
It was a bit warm today.  At the conclusion of the hike the temp. was 99F.  We almost all made it OK, but I lagged a little.  This was a good hike.  We didn't see any wildlife, not even a snake.  Caroline almost but promised us a copperhead, but no such luck.  Not much left of Rainbow Lake, which is too bad, but we were able to easily follow the trail with Caroline's help.  We only hiked 2.8 miles, but I would rate the trail as moderate.  If you would like to see a few pictures of the hike, click HERE or on the Rainbow Lake tab above.

6.23.12 On this hike there were nine hikers.  I was a very warm day, but since this trail is almost all under trees, it wasn't too bad.  Everyone had a good time on this hike of about 5 miles.  I would rate this hike as easy.  For a few pictures click HERE or on the Booker T. tab above.
