Riverwalk 1.28.13

1.28.13  Today we had a group of 8 hikers.  This was one hike or should I say walk where you didn't have to stare at your feet the whole time.  Since we didn't have to stare at our feet the whole time, we made up for it by talking.  There was joyful chatter throughout the entire walk of 5.3 miles.  We started at the dam and walked toward S. Chickamauga Creek.  We had to take a detour since part of the walkway was flooded.  The day was very dreary with mist in the air.  Absolutely no sunshine!  The only wildlife we saw were the obligatory blue herons, other walkers, joggers, and bicyclists.  Of course, at the end of the hike we decided to go and eat so this time we chose 2 Square and had a good lunch.  I would rate this walk as easy.  For a few dreary pictures please click on the Riverwalk tab above.

Laurel Falls 1.26.13

1.26.13  I wasn't able to go on this hike.  There were eight hikers and the weather was cold and overcast.  Everything went OK, at least as far as I know.  Thanks George for the pictures.  I think the distance was about 5 miles and I would rate this hike as moderate.  To see the pictures, click on the Laurel Falls tab above.
