Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Mabbitt Springs Trail 10.17.2023

 I wasn't able to attend this hike, but from what I hear, it was a great hike.  There were 11 hikers that attended this hike and the weather and views were exceptional.  The hike was about four miles in length and not too difficult.  There was one issue where three of the hikers did get separated from the group and were lost for a short period.   Thankfully they were in cell phone contact and everyone was reunited.  One of the lost hikers was quite disturbed however and may not hike with us again.  This points out the importance of the hike leader setting a pace that is suitable for even the slowest hikers.  If the group becomes strung out, it is important for the leader to stop periodically and check to see that the sweeper is in contact and that everyone is accounted for.
