Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking
6.30.12  Rainbow Lake Loop on Signal Mountain.  Donna, Caroline, McBob, Ed, Earl, John and Larry
It was a bit warm today.  At the conclusion of the hike the temp. was 99F.  We almost all made it OK, but I lagged a little.  This was a good hike.  We didn't see any wildlife, not even a snake.  Caroline almost but promised us a copperhead, but no such luck.  Not much left of Rainbow Lake, which is too bad, but we were able to easily follow the trail with Caroline's help.  We only hiked 2.8 miles, but I would rate the trail as moderate.  If you would like to see a few pictures of the hike, click HERE or on the Rainbow Lake tab above.

Booker T. Washington S.P.

6.23.12 On this hike there were nine hikers.  I was a very warm day, but since this trail is almost all under trees, it wasn't too bad.  Everyone had a good time on this hike of about 5 miles.  I would rate this hike as easy.  For a few pictures click HERE or on the Booker T. tab above.
6.19.12  Sara, Nance Jo, Renee, George, John, Donna and ?   I wasn't able to attend this hike, but everybody had a good time.  The distance of the hike was about 5 miles.  It was pretty warm and I think that this might have been the reason for a relatively short hike.  For a few pictures, click HERE or on the Chickamauga Levy tab above.
6016012  Nance Jo, John, Larry, Gary, Boody, Clyde, BF and Caroline  There was a good group this Saturday and the weather was excellent.  It took a couple of days for me to update the Blog since I had some trouble with the photos that Nance Jo was kind enough to take.  The hike was approximately 9.6 miles and all went well.  I would rate the hike as moderate.  To see a couple of pictures click here or on the Flipper Bend tab up above.

Riverfront

6.12.12  Today we had ten people on the hike.  I won't list their names this time as I have forgotten a couple.  We had a very nice short hike of four miles and I would rate the hike as very easy.  Temperature was perfect with a light breeze.  Everyone spent a lot of time talking and getting better acquainted.  After the hike we retired to the Boathouse and had a very good lunch.  To see a few pictures of the group, click here or on the riverfront walk tab above.
