Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Little Cedar Mountain

12.18.12  On today's hike there were 10 happy hikers.  The day was perfect for hiking.  Cool and the sky's were clear although most of the hike was in forested areas.  Everybody had a good time.  There was only one casualty and it was a pretty hard fall, but no injuries.  We hiked out to an overlook called Gray's Bluff and took in a great view of Nickajack Lake.  We got a little confused about where we were a couple of times since the intersections are not well marked and we walked right past a couple.  We eventually found our way and nobody was complaining.  The total distance of the hike was 5 miles and I guess with the exception of one hill, I would rate it as easy.  After the hike we went for our obligatory lunch and this time it was at Cracker Barrel.  We all had an excellent feed.  For a few pictures, click on the Cedar Mountain tab up above.

Mushroom Rock

12.16.12  Finally!  After somehow losing John's picture of Mushroom Rock, he sent me another copy.  Now everyone who is interested can see a why they named it Mushroom Rock.  To see a better copy of the picture, click on the Mushroom Rock tab.  Any speculation on how long it will be before that big rock topples off?  This picture was taken on the Signal Point to Hwy 27 hike.  To see a few more pictures of the hike click on the Signal Mountain to Hwy 27 tab up above.
