Finally, a day without rain! Ten hikers gathered at the Ritchie Hollow trailhead in Prentice Cooper, eager to travel over the rocks, in the fog to Snoopers Rock. The Previous deluge of rain filled the creeks, cascades and Blowing Wind waterfall. After enjoying the waterfall, we continued our trek uphill to the junction with Pot Point trail. Turning right, we trudged towards Snoopers Rock, ascending and descending the valleys and ridges. Lunch was eaten on Snoopers Rock with the awesome backdrop of the Tennessee River cutting through the gorge. On the return trip, a beautiful spider (orb?) shared the trail. It is obviously a TN vols fan!
