What a beautiful day for a hike. The day was clear and cool, just the way you wanted it for a nice hike at Cloudland Canyon. There were 18 of us on this 5.2 mile hike which I would rate as easy/moderate because of the distance. It took us 3.5 hours to complete the hike. I think that this was the first time we misplaced some hikers before we even left the parking lot! After some serious mathematical calculations including several repeated head counts the problem was resolved and we headed off into the unknown. Actually it wasn't to unknown as several of us had hiked this trail before. The views were absolutely beautiful with the leaves having turned into all of the fall colors. After returning to the parking lot we headed off to lunch. Some of us chose Chinese food and others a sandwich shop, both of which were located in the Walmart parking lot in Tiptonia.

This weeks joke...How many of you hikers have telekinetic powers? Raise my hand!
I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.
When I was ten, my family moved to Chattanooga, TN. When I was twelve I found them.
I ran three miles the other day. Finally I said "Lady keep your purse".
