Collegedale 6.18.19

There were 10 people that were willing to take on the weather no matter what it was going to do  Well we were really lucky and never got wet.  I didn't take the route that I planned because they had closed it off because they are making a gravity bike trail up there.  So we started up from the main Trailhead.  We went up big Red to get a little exercise going up hill.  We went  up to the top of White Oak Mountain.  Half way down we took a short cut down on an unmarked trail.  It was steep but pretty easy.  actually, I was kid of lost because I wasn't on the trail I wanted to be on.  When we finally got down to where I wanted to be, they had all but one trail open so we went that way.  Then we came to an intersection where we had choices of going a little further or taking the shortest.  It did start to rain, although we were under a good canopy from the trees.  It was very light rain and we didn't get wet, but we only walked about 3 1/2 miles. Easy walk.  Of course it was followed by a good lunch at City Cafe.

There were 10 people that were willing to take on the weather no matter what it was going to do.  Well we were really lucky and never got wet. I didn’t take the route that I planned because they had closed it off because they are making a gravity bike trail up there. So we started up from the main Trailhead We went up big Red to get a little exercise going up hill -went up to the top of White Oak Mountain. Half way down we took a short cut down on an unmarked trail. It was steep but pretty easy. Actually I was kind of lost because I wasn’t on the trail I wanted to be on. When we finally got down to where I wanted to be, they had all but one trail open so we went that way. Then we came to an intersection where we had choices of going a little further or taking the shortest trail. It did start to rain, although we were under a good canopy from the trees.
