Ho Hum, just another perfect day for hiking. On this hike we went to Little Cedar Mountain. There were 16 of us on this hike of just over four miles. The hike took us just over three hours. Although we had been there recently, this hike is always enjoyable and has always been one of my favorites. Once you get away from the highway traffic, and into the deep forest it is very serene. The rocks and vegetation are incredible. On this hike we all went about halfway and then split up into two groups. Some went the slightly longer route around the mountain and the others took a twisty trail down the side of the mountain. If you look at the trail maps I have included, you can see that one of the trail maps, that kind of looks like a figure eight, contains a larger circle around the mountain. This is the track that some took. The other trail map shows only the slightly shorter version of the hike. Thanks to one of the hikers, I have included a picture of John Beck's Leafcup. This flower is quite rare and if you are a flower aficionado you would appreciate seeing it. Following the hike a group went to the Cracker Barrel and had a very nice lunch. If you would like to see some pictures of the hike, including trail maps and altitude graph, click here.

Joke of the week (not hiking related)... You know what the ladies like on a date? Courtesy. Once I got into a world of trouble on a date when I didn't open the car door for her. Instead I just swam for the surface.
