It started out a bit chilly at 8:30A in the mid 50's. During the hike it began warming up and at about 2/3 of the way through the hike the sun came out and the sky turned a beautiful blue. Of course at about this time, the stripping off of excess clothing began among the hikers. We had 11 hikers on this 4.2 mile hike. I would rate this hike as easy. Among the hikers were two old friends that hadn't been hiking for some time and also some new hikers. It is refreshing to have a new crowd of folks. We walked the outer loop and there was a lot of chit chat as we ambled througbh the woods. As the weather turned beautiful, the colors of the trees began to really pop. The hike took just under 2.5hrs. It had been over one year since I had been to Booker T. and I think everyone enjoyed a very nice hike.
