Big Soddy Gulf

WHAT A TURNOUT!!  This was the nicest day we have had in some time.  It was cool, clear and and bright.  This nice day brought a turnout of 19, yes, 19, hikers!  The hike distance was approximately six miles.  The group went to the Big Soddy Creek  Bridge and then turned back and returned to the parking lot.  Everyone had lots of exercise on this moderate hike.  If you would like to see a bunch of really nice pictures, click here.

Cumberland Trail

There were only four hikers on this hike. I think the strong possibility of rain kept people away.  The small group hiked toward the Big Soddy Creek Bridge.  Just as the group was approaching the Bridge there was a bright flash of lightening followed immediately by thunder.  The group immediately turned around and began hiking back toward the parking lot.  Unfortunately it was too late and the rain came pouring down.  By the time they reached the truck everyone was thoroughly wet.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  If you would like to see a couple pictures, click here.
