Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Roaring Creek

1.1.14  This hike was on the Roaring Creek segment of Graysville Mountain.  There were 7 hikers.  They hiked a little further than necessary due to a wrong turn.  The total distance was 7.4 miles.  At an overlook at approximately the halfway point they had a hot lunch to celebrate January 1, 2014.  You can see the spread in the pictures.  Everyone had a delightful time.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  To see a few pictures, click on the Roaring Creek tab above.

Riverwalk 12.31.13

We had 6 people on this hike.  It started at the Boathouse Restaurant and followed the Riverwalk to the Walnut Street Bridge.  The group crossed the bridge and wandered around Coolidge Park for a while.  We picked up one hiker at the bridge.  The walk was a little chilly.  Two of the hikers decided to have lunch at a restaurant on Market St.  The distance was 5.7 miles and I would rate the hike as easy.  For a couple of pictures click on the Riverwalk tab above.  

Flipper Bend

On this hike there were 11 hikers.  We were privileged and had two hikers from the Highland Rim Club.  The hike distance was about 10 miles.  Unfortunately the hike leader missed a right turn and this added about 1.5 miles to the distance of the hike.  Near the end of the hike a good Samaritan gave a few of the hikers a ride back to the cars to rescue the remaining hikers since it was starting to rain.  They didn't get too wet!  I would rate the hike as moderate.  To see a few pictures, click on the Flipper Bend tab above.  I would like to thank John, Larry and Nance Jo for the pictures.
