Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Raccoon Mountain 12.9.14

12.9.14    This description is a little confused since I'm not entirely sure of where the hike was.  I think it was Raccoon Mtn and if it was not I hope someone will correct me.  I am told that everyone had a great hike even though the hike leader lead everyone astray and they hiked several miles further than the planned four miles.  There were 13 hikers today on this moderate hike.  If you would like to see a few pictures please click here or on the Raccoon eMtn. tab above.

Roaring Creek 12.6.14

12.6.14  On this hike there were only two hikers?  Where was everybody?  Maybe they realized that the weather was poor and this would be a strenuous hike!  The day was very damp with a few  light showers and quite a bit of fog.  The pair hiked from the trail head to Gilbreak Creek and returned.  The total distance was 9.3 miles at a pretty quick clip.  They did not cross the creek because of high water and slippery creek boulders.  By the time they returned to the bluff the air had cleared and they had a beautiful view of the valleys and lake below.  To see a few pictures click here or on the Roaring Creek tab above.
