Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Mushroom Rock 9.6.2022

 I made a mistake today, not my first one, but it was a doosey.  I almost led the hikers the wrong way on the trail.  Luckily a more experienced hiker set me straight.  This hike was a relatively short hike from Signal Mountain High School to Mushroom Rock.  It is mostly down hill so quite easy. It was a hike to show newer members Mushroom Rock which if you haven't seen it you probably should.   After looking at the rock we decided to add a little distance by hiking along the Cumberland Trail for about a half mile and then turning back.  It was very humid, but thankfully the temperature was in the low 80s.  I think that this hike was enjoyed by everyone of the 10 hikers.  The distance total for the hike was 3.9 miles and took about 2.5 hours.  Following the hike we decided to have lunch, which is surely the highlight of the hike for some, at McAlister's at the foot of Signal Mountain.
