Little Cedar Mountain 8.8.2023

 As you can see from the photos, it was quite foggy as we started this 3.8 mile hike.  Our hike leader knew exactly where we were going so the fog was no problem.  The fog quickly cleared up and we had a very nice although very humid hike.  We took a short snack break where we could see through the trees and see Nickajack Lake.  Following the snack we continued through the very lush and green forest.  It was slippery at times as everything was damp.  A very good hike.  This hike took just under 3 hours.

I think that common sense is the least common of the senses.  

Raccoon Mtn. 8.5.2023

 It was another warm day; summer in Tennessee. Seven hikers started up the High Voltage trail on Raccoon Mountain. The trailhead is across the road from the boat launch on the Tennessee River. The path was fairly easy, only a few rocks and switchbacks to gain the elevation of 1296 feet. At the summit of the mountain, a bike race was rolling down the paths. We jumped on and off to trail getting out of their way.

After lunch, we retraced our steps down the mountain, leaving the bike race far behind. We hiked 9.28 miles, a nice hike on a hot day.
