Sluder Lane to Mulbray Pike

9.17.13  Today there were eight hikers.  The hike was very good with no unforeseen happenstances.  A couple of the hikers went really fast and finished considerably ahead of the others.  The distance was five miles and I would rate this hike as moderate.  For a couple of pictures click on the Sluder Lane tab above.

Roaring Creek

9.14.13   Joan, Gail, Gloria, Larry, Boodie, Gary and John.  Perfect weather for a hike.  There was a nice cool breeze blowing that kept the warm weather in check.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  The distance was 8.5 miles.  Lunch was had on a beautiful bluff overlooking the Tennessee River Valley with both TVA nuclear plants in the background.  The only difficulty was yellow-jackets.  Seems the hikers disturbed a nest and several of the hikers received stings.  This put a damper on an otherwise great hike.
