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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Oswald Dome 8.29.15

There were seven hikers on today's hike.  The weather was perfect for a good long hike.  I would rate this hike as strenuous.  If you would like to see some pictures of today's hike click here or on the Oswald Dome tab above.

2015 BBQ

We had to postpone the BBQ for a week because of the weather.  And it turned out to be for the better. We had beautiful weather for a BBQ. Patricia was gracious enough to open her home for us and the Nelsons did a fantastic job of cooking some "Out of this world" BBQ.   Ed,Karen and Bill put in their kayaks 2 miles up stream and arrived at Tricia's house via the water.  Tricia was nice enough to take a group of us out on a boat ride. Others rode around on the kayaks and most of us did lots of good eating. Their was definitely 23 happy people that day.

Sterchi Farms 8.25.15

Today was a large group of 15 hikers.  Everyone had a good time on this 7.5 mile hike on a really nice day.  If you would like to see some pictures of the hike click here or on the Sterchi Farms tab above.

Chickamauga Battlefield

8.22.15     This hike was a lot drier than some of the more recent hikes.  Today's hike was approximately 9 miles which is a couple of miles longer than the planned seven miles.  I would rate this hike as moderate simply because of the distance.  If you would like to see a few additional pictures, click here or on the Chickamauga tab above.

Harrison Bay S.P. 8.18.15

There were only four hikers on this very wet hike.  About half way through this 41/2 mile hike the skies opened up and everybody got soaked.  Not much fun.  If you would like to see a couple more pictures of the wet hikers, click here or on the Harrison Bay S.P. tab above.
