South Chick Greenway, (New Section) 8.2.2022

 Everyone had mentioned, at one time or another, that we ought to explore the new section of the Chickamauga Creek Greenway.  This was the day to do it.  We met at the RR Museum parking lot and started and ended there as it was an out and back hike.  It had rained the day before, but on this day it was beautiful.  There were 15 of us on this 4.8 mile hike which took us 2hrs 22min.  Most of the hike was under a canopy of trees which was welcomed as it was hot and humid.  I believe that everyone had a very nice time on this leisurely hike.  Following the hike, most of us had lunch at Mike's Tavern in Hixson.

Booker T. Washington S.P. 7.30.2022

 The hike at Booker T. State Park was a slightly abbreviated hike. It was scheduled as hiking the entire trail layout of the park, but due to anticipated weather restraints and soggy trail conditions, we decided to do only the outer loop trail and skip the two smaller inner loops. At the end of the outer loop hike, we were sufficiently soggy enough from the high humidity, that skipping the inner loops was no big loss. Still the hike was enjoyable. The views along the outer loop were very nice and no measurable precipitation occurred. All the hikers seemed satisfied with the 4 mile as opposed to the 6+ mile hike.
