Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Signal Point to Edwards Point

11.14.12 & 11.17.12  On the first hike, it was John, Renee and George.  This was a special occasion hike as it was necessary to shown John the route to take.  It was his first hike to Edwards Point and it is easy to get confused around Rainbow Lake.  The hike went well and the weather was fine.  No Pictures. The second hike was on the 17th and consisted of John, Nance Jo, Linda and Nancy.  These hikes were considered strenuous as both times the hikes were conducted at a rapid pace.  Nance Jo, saw a large buck on her return.  Again the weather was excellent. Here are a couple of pictures.
11.13.12  Nance Jo, Nancy, Sarah, Renee, George, Earl  This was a short hike of only four miles.  It started out a little chilly at 37F, but the sun was out and it was a beautiful fall day.  George was hike leader and sort of made up the route along the way.  There are a couple of new trails at Enterprise South, but we didn't have the opportunity to try them out this time, but will probably next time.  We did not see any deer on this hike.  There were a few runners and bicyclists along the way.  I would rate this hike as easy.  For a couple of pictures, click here or on the Enterprise South tab above.

River Walk 10.23.12

10.23.12  Sandra, Sarah, Nance Jo, Earl, George.  Absolutely a perfect day for a walk along the river.  Since there were so few of us, we decided to turn the hike into a walk and bird-watch.  I got a couple of real good pictures of a mocking bird and we saw many other kinds of birds.  George is quite familiar with local birds and helped us a great deal in identification.  After the meal, we went to The Boathouse for lunch and had some great conversation.  The total distance of the hike was only 2.6 miles and rated as very easy.  If you would like to see a couple pictures, click HERE or on the River Walk tab above.   

Roaring Creek

10.16.12  Caroline, Nance Jo, Sarah, Renee, Donna, Roger, Boodie, McBob, George, Larry, Ed, Earl  What a perfect day for a hike!  It started out cool and warmed up to maybe 70F.  Roaring Creek was full of water and really "roaring".  It was beautiful.  The first mile of the hike is pretty flat following along the creek.  Then the trail moves away from the creek and climbs for about another mile.  Nobody else was using the trail so we had it all to ourselves.  There were several trees down that we had to either cut our way through or climb over.  Their location was noted so that the rangers could come back and cut them down.  Once we reached the end of the trail we had a great sunshiny view over the valley.  We could really see a great distance.  The distance of this hike was 4.6 miles and I would rate it as moderate.  For a few pictures click HERE or on the Roaring Creek tab above.
