Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Deep Creek 12.15.18

We had a very good Saturday hike.  Our hike started at the Soddy Gulf Park on Big So0ddy Creek.  We hiked to the Big Soddy "new" Bridge and then on to the "new-slightly rebuilt" Deep Creek Bridge.  During all this our hike leader also took us on a one mile side trip down the "wrong" fork in the trail.  So, all-in-all, we logged about 9 miles; but it was a perfect day for a hike (cloudy, temp. in the 50's, with damp but sure trail footing).  Big Soddy, Deep Creek, and several unnamed side creeks were flowing very well.  We had four hikers for today's hike (including a mother and her daughter who did about one-half of the hike.  I would rate this hike as strenuous (or at least it felt that way to me).  The rating is due to length and terrain features.  If you would like to see some photos,click here.
