We are the greatest chapter of the TTA. No doubt about it. We had twenty people for this wonderful hike at Savage Gulf. The distance was about 4.7 miles and for the most part I would rate it as easy. The hike lasted about 3.5 hours. The weather fully cooperated for a very nice day. We moseyed along the trail only stopping briefly for a look or two at the map and for the occasional drink. Most of the overlooks were pretty well obscured by trees, but you could still get a good idea of the beauty of this area. We did see a copperhead and it is quite possible some of the hikers stepped right over it without seeing the snake! Very good camouflage. We were quite tired by the end of the hike as we did not stop for a snack break although I spotted a couple hikers munching along the way. Now comes the difficult part for me. We stopped after the hike at, lets see now, it was either Dalton, Dayton or Dunlap. I'm going for Dunlap at the Dunlap Restaurant. I seem to regularly get this wrong. We've eaten there before and everyone was always satisfied. If you would like to see some pictures, maps, and altitude graph, click here.

This weeks joke....
How do you tell the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear?
When you see the bear, climb a tree. If it climbs up the tree and kills you it is a black bear. If it knocks the tree down and kills you its a grizzly bear.
