Saturday found our small group of hikers traversing from Little Soddy creek trailhead on Hotwater road to Big Soddy creek on Back valley road.  The walk was 8 miles with an elevation gain of 1076 feet.  We took turns slipping on the wet rocks from an overnight rain.  It was really humid!  An overgrown section of the trail challenged our trail finding – we “imagined” our way through the wet weeds.  Deep creek and Big Soddy creek held little water.  We crossed over BSC on dry rocks.
