Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Savage Gulf 5.14.19

Well, Trish did it again.  She must have some connection with the big man upstairs.  It was another perfect day for a hike.  It was a beautiful sunny day with the temperatures in the mid 50's as we started this 5.35 mile hike.  I would rate it as easy as everyone enjoyed the mostly level trail.  Savage Falls was flowing nicely and most of the hikers had a snack there.  There were 21 of us today on this hike.  The maximum hiking speed was 3.9 mph on a downhill stretch with the moving average 2.1 mph.  It took us 3.5 hrs to complete this hike.  Alas, despite much searching, there were no rattlesnakes found at Rattlesnake Point.  Following the hike all of us tried to get to the Cookie Jar Restaurant, but they had an extremely long wait.  Therefor some went there and some went to the Dalton Restaurant in, guess where, Dalton.  If you would like to see a bunch of pictures, including maps and altitude graph, click here.  If you are having trouble viewing the pictures and are trying to see them from the TTA website, please go directly to the Blog at www.sdctta.blogspot.com.  Google Chrome is the preferred Browser.

Joke of the Week....
Two guys are out hiking.  The first guy says, "Did you see that?"
"No," the second guy says.
"Well, a bald eagle just flew overhead," the first guy says.
"Oh," says the second guy.
A couple of minutes later, the first guy says, "Did you see that?"
"See what?" the second guy asks.
"Are you blind?  There was a big, black bear walking on that hill over there."
"Oh"
A few minutes later the first guy says, "Did you see that?"
By now, the second guy is getting aggravated, so he say, "Yes, I did!"
And the first guy says, "They why did you step in it?"
