Raccoon Mountain 3.12.13

There were twelve of us on today's hike.  We weren't quite prepared for the cold weather in the morning.  I for one didn't bring a hat or gloves.  I expected it to be much warmer, nearly froze my fingers off.  Anyway, we had a great hike.  We staged cars so that we did not have to retrace any steps.  The views were great!  Three quarters of the way through the hike, the sun came out and it warmed quickly.  People were shedding clothes like crazy.  The distance of this hike was 4.2 miles and I would rate it as easy-moderate as there were a couple of steep hills near the end.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click on the Raccoon Mountain tab above.
