Soddy Ball Field to Heiss Mtn.

10.28.14    For the Tuesday hike we carpooled from the Soddy Ball Field parking lot to the Heiss Mtn Rd trailhead.  The weather was perfect for taking a leisurely Fall stroll from the trailhead to the Big Possum Creek Bridge and back.  The Fall colors were vibrant with their reds, yellows and all colors in between.  There were twelve of us that enjoyed the morning outing and although the hike distance was only approximately 3 miles there and back it was well worth our time.  I have to give kudos to my very good friend Bob McGavock for getting up off of his death bed (well maybe not his death bed but he did have surgery on his shoulder last week) and joining us for the hike.  I would say that he easily won our club’s hiker of the day award if we had one since he travelled the whole distance with us without incurring any more damage to his shoulder.  It was also nice to have his son Bob with us on this outing, come to think of it they may be eligible for another award as the first father/son team to make one of our hikes.  I will have to research further on that one but all in all we had a great day for a hike.  Please try and get out to enjoy the colors on any trail available to you, it will be well worth your time.  Happy Hiking!  For some pictures of the hike click here or on the Soddy Ball Field tab above.
