Big Soddy Creek

9.8.12  Nance Jo, Caroline, John, McBob, George, Boodie & Gary.  It was overcast and could rain at any time.  That did not deter the members of the Soddy Daisy hiking Club.  Only George, Gary and Boodie went all the way to the creek.  During this portion of the hike the sky opened up and and they were soaked.  The rest of the hikers went to the rock climber's parking lot and then to Sluder Lane where the cars were.  Along the way they spotted a beautiful box turtle and an excellent example of Turkey Tail Fungus.  The distance of the segment where George, Boodie and Gary went is unknown.  The other segment that the rest of the hikers took was 5.5 miles.  I would rate the trail as moderate.  For a few pictures, click HERE or on the Soddy Daisy tab above.
