What a great day for a nice walk in the woods. Our hike leader did a great job of keeping all 17 of us together and stopping occasionally to strip off clothing or to get a drink. We planned for a quite cold hike, but the weather really cooperated and the temperature was in the low 40's with plenty of sun. This 2.9 mile hike was quite enjoyable and we were able to see quite some distance as you can see in the pictures. The only incident was wen one of the hikers, who shall remain nameless, (her name began with a B and who else could it be) got stuck in the Eye of the Needle. This was narrow cave cut through the rocks. Happily she was freed and and caught up with the rest of the group. After the hike we visited The Assembly in Monteagle. This retreat is very interesting and if you wish to know more you can easily look it up on the Internet. This easily added a mile to our hike. Following the The Assembly, we had a very good lunch across the street at the Mountain Goat Cafe.

Interesting fact, most archeologists are women? The reason is that women are much better than men at digging up the past.
