Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Raccoon Mountain

1.8.13  Today we had 16 hikers, which was a record for our little club.  The weather was great, cool and crisp but not too cold and no wind.  On the way in, we saw a couple of deer crossing the road.  You can see a couple of pictures in the picture section.  The only other wildlife we saw were some off road bicyclists.  We started at an off road parking area and ended at the switch-yard   You can see why it is call a switch-yard if you look at the pictures.    The hike itself was beautiful with great scenery.  I would rate this hike as easy and our total distance was about 4.7 miles.  To see a few pictures of the hike click on the Raccoon Mtn. tab above.
