Fall Creek Falls 7.17.18

It was a beautiful day for a hike.  We typically don't drive this far for a short hike, but it is great to chat on the way up.  On the way back, some of us fell asleep in the car, so it was a little quieter.  It had been raining prior to our hike so some patches of the trail, especially the rocks, were a little slippery.  This 3 mile hike was rated as easy except for the very beginning where we decided to hike down to the falls. This involved a lot of steps and walking on wet rocks.  There was very little water coming over the falls today.  We did see a deer and her fawn standing in the woods which is quite unusual.  She didn't seem to concerned about us.  On the way back we had a great lunch, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the restaurant.  If one of the hiker reads this and remembers, let me know and I will insert the name.  I was reminded, the name of the restaurant was The Cookie Jar.  If you would like to see some pictures, click here.  I have included a map showing just where we hiked.

Snooper's Rock 7.14.18

Only two hikers showed up for the scheduled Prentice Cooper hike. The hike was a six miler from Snoopers Rock to the natural bridge and return. 

The two hikers were John (the hike leader) and Cynthia (a newcomer to our club hikes).

The weather started out as overcast and humid- but the temperatures were in the 80's for the entire hike. We maintained a good pace and finished the hike at about 1pm.

I would rate this hike as moderately strenuous.
